layered and balanced profile that was begging to be drunk

warm earth and an unusual hint of hoisin

Montes, Folly other_regions This is a seriousEven the Syrah, the 2012 Montes Folly, felt a little mainstream and shy not really showing much varietal character when poured. There is ripe fruit, black rather than red, and some balsamic aromas, quite oaky; after all, it spent 18 months in wood. The palate is full bodied, juicy and round, warm with glossy tannins and a sweet, fruit driven finish. 30,000 bottles produced.
