We decided to try another Montgras Wine since we like their Carmenere so much. This we also bought at Bevmo and it got the same 93 rating by Wilfred Wong as the Atrocedro I reviewed last week. This is a blend of 4 grapes, hence the “Quatro” and it was $13.99.
Winemakers notes:
“A blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec, 25% Syrah and 15% Carmenere.
Deep ruby, shading to purple. Black currant, cherries, leather and capsicum; hints of vanilla and fresh-roasted coffee on the nose. Flavorful, full bodied, food-friendly with a good balance between acidity and sweetness of alcohol, as well as fruit and oak. Well-structured and complex, concluding in a long finish.
Well-matched with red meats, hearty casseroles and flavorful cheeses.”
Montgras is a Chilean winery with the first grapes planted in 1993. If you find yourself in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, the country’s premier wine producing zone, they do guided tours!
Rating: 
We liked it, HOWEVER, we like the previously reviewed Montgras Carmenere better and it costs a bit less. In fact we LOVE the Montgras Carmenere, but were perfectly happy with the Quatro.
