Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, June 2011

Opaque black center with dark crimson rim. Aroma of charcoal, coffee, leather, and anise surround a core of dark black fruits including black currant, black cherry, and blackberry. Bright and fresh, despite how dark and concentrated the wine is, with soft tannins that build towards a long and powerful finish of mocha chocolate and tar. In a word, Excellent!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2008

The flagship 2006 Lindaflor Malbec is 100% varietal aged for 18 months in new French oak. It offers up an ethereal aromatic array of wood smoke, pencil lead, lavender, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry that is already remarkably complex. On the palate it is dense, rich, and opulent with layers of savory black fruits, exotic spices, and enough structure to evolve for at least 5-7 years. Cellar it for a minimum of five years and enjoy it through 2030.

Bodega Monteviejo, owned by Catherine Pere-Verge (also the proprietor of Chateau Le Gay in Pomerol), is located at the foothills of the Andes, next to Vista Flores, south of Mendoza. Michel Rolland is in charge of the winemaking. 93+

Deep, bright ruby. Sexy aromas of currant, coffee, bitter chocolate, minerals and graphite. Lusher and sweeter than the Monteviejo, with a finer-grained texture and insidious penetrating flavor intensity without undue weight. This very suave and rich wine saturates the palate with blackberry and raspberry fruit. Finishes with superb lift-and tannins that coat the front teeth. A beauty.

Wine Spectator, September 2009

Dense, but with admirable purity, this lets a beam of crushed plum and boysenberry fruit pump through, while notes of fruitcake, fig sauce and mocha flesh out on the velvety, flattering finish. For the hedonist crowd. The best wine yet from this producer. Malbec. Drink now through 2011. 1,580 cases made.

About Winery

Bodega Monteviejo is owned and operated by Chateau Le Gay, of Pomerol. The wines made at this very special property in Argentina are treated with the same dedication and care as those produced back home in Bordeaux. The vineyards, over 100 hectares, are located in the commune of Tunuyan, just 80km south of the city of Mendoza. The goal here is to create wines that can compete with the world's best. Yields are kept low and the vineyard is vertically trained, with vines planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare. This configuration corresponds to the region's traditional method of planting old vine Malbec at 1.8m x 1m spacing. The owners are honored to carry on this traditional method of agriculture, as they believe it is the key aspect of what has created Argentina's worldwide reputation for truly world-class wine.
