Showing some nice age, this late release wine is very impressive. The 2010 Chandler Reach 'Monte Regalo' Red Wine was aged 22 months in oak before bottling, the wine is a blend of 68% Cabernet with 20% Cabernet Franc and 12% Merlot. This outstanding wine begins with lovely black fruit aromatics of blackberry preserves, black olive and tar. There are flavors of blackberry, black cherry, black olive tapenade and mocha. There is a nice, firm structure that sits beautifully with the fruit flavors in this well made wine given the cool vintage conditions. (Best 2016-2025) - September, 2016 (OB)
