"Just as Kaikens (wild geese, indigenous to Patagonia) fly over Patagonia, criss-crossing the land between  Chile and Argentina, so have Montes Wines crossed over the Andes and into Argentina, with the firm purpose of producing fine wines, resulting from a perfect combination of the exceptional conditions given in the Mendoza area, plue the work of talented professionals both Chilean and Argentine.  Wines that would reflect the best of each side of the Andes." - Winery Notes

Kaiken Malbec 2010 Tasting Notes

Of a deep violet color, warm in the nose, with notes of ripe fruit and traces of tobacco and butterscotch.  In the mouth it displays intensity, with strong, fleshy tannins; while at the same time juicy and enveloping; with a long, persistent finish.  A harmonious liaison with the oak, makes of this wine a fine example of the Mendoza terroir.
