The 2005 Monteviejo is a blend of 60% Malbec 20% Syrah 10% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged for 16 months in new French oak. Inky purple it offers aromas of toasty oak espresso mocha black cherry and blueberry. On the palate it exhibits a smooth texture layers of spicy blue and black fruit flavors light tannin excellent balance and a 45-second finish. It will evolve for several years in the bottle but can be enjoyed now with a charcoal grilled Argentinian rib-eye.
