I recently tasted the 2008 Montes Alpha Syrah from Chile. It's a blend of 90% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Viogner. I must say I found it enjoyable. The color was a dark ruby red. On my palate the flavors were tobacco and spice, not very tannic and nicely balanced. The finish was long and pleasant. Winemaker's Notes: Of intense ruby red color, it has enchanting floral aromas accompanied by tobacco and leathery notes. On the mouth, it's powerful and full bodied to the palate with soft and mature tannins and a very long elegant finish.
