"Located in the heart of the Curico Valley, the Montes Estates are one of the richest winemaking areas in Chile. Irrigated by the Andes, the pre-phylloxera vineyards create the ultimate expression of each grape. We carefully select the best grapes and make only limited quantities of each wine. We use French oak only, and taste barrel samples frequently so that each wine is bottled at the optimal moment." - Winery Notes

Montes Malbec 2010 Tasting Notes

A full-bodied, round, soft and generous red wine with strong spicy character.  The wine is 100% Malbec. Ruby red color, leaning to very dark, intense red showing powerful but elegant flavors, with plumy and blackberry hints accompanied by wonderful butterscotch flavors and a slight spiciness that is totally integrated with the subtle notes of vanilla that comes from six months of oak aging.
