Montes Alpha Syrah 2004: B+

Josh and I finally opened an 04 Montes Alpha that we'd been saving. Looks like grape juice - wicked purple. Also, this wine is endorsed by Andean Indians. What more could you want? Josh says "Core attribute is full-bodied flavor of dark berry and spice." He thinks it would stand up well, next to smoked meat or perhaps spicy Peruvian chicken...not the pesto pasta we're eating right now. Maybe I thought this bottle tasted even better because we've been saving it...my judgement might be off.
