The 2014 Montes 'Classic Series' Merlot is an easy sipper that would be a great steakhouse pour. The Merlot has 15% Cabernet blended in for structure. This wine begins with aromatics of smoked meats, creosote, black olive and black cherry. There are flavors of black cherry, mocha, and black olive and anise. This is a very solid effort from Montes.
