Wine Spectator
93 POINTS Wine Spectator

"Suave and plush, with a broad, open texture that transmits a spicy array of dark cherry, currant, blackberry and cocoa powder notes. Very creamy, with silky tannins on the finish of Asian spice and chocolate. Drink now through 2022. 17,400 cases made."  KM, November 2014
Tasting Notes
92 POINTS Wine Enthusiast

"As per usual, Purple Angel is a full-force experience. Hailing from a warm year, this is dense and purple in color, as it should be. Aromas of graphite, oak, tobacco and black fruit set up a jammy, full palate with saturated flavors of spice-laden blueberry and boysenberry. Finishing notes of tobacco, herb and oak cement this big-boned wines ripe, beefy status."  MS, October 2014

About MONTES
Aurelio Montes
Aurelio Montes
The plan that launched Viña Montes was hatched in 1987 when two partners with big dreams, Aurelio Montes the winemaker and Douglas Murray the marketing mogul, came together both with years of experience and passion for their home grown wine industry.  They believed that they could vastly improve the quality of Chilean wine being made at the time. In 1988, two more partners joined in, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, each bringing their technical experience and wisdom to the venture.  And that is how Viña Montes was born. The vision from the beginning included delivering to fine wine consumers worldwide first-class wine from Chile that was true to its terroir and in the spirit of its chief winemaker, Aurelio Montes.

Aurelio Montes is renowned by his peers and by international wine press as one of the top winemakers to come from Chile. In the 80's and 90's his leadership brought a revolution to quality and expectations of wine from Chile.  His insights lead to the development of vineyard sights in regions such as Apalta and Marchigüe.  Some called him crazy for venturing into these valleys and up their steep hillsides, but time has proven that his vision was clear.

Today Aurelio is considered a giant in Chile.  His drive to progress and to champion quality over quantity, and innovation over the status quo has yet to slow or diminish. Aurelio remains as committed and as enthusiastic as ever.  Only 25 years after he and Douglas Murray started their venture, Aurelio is now recognized as a pioneer, and a man of foresight and vision for his simple idea of allowing the vineyards of Chile to produce the best wine possible and to be proud of being Chilean.
