La Violeta is a concentrated color, with intense, bright tones of ruby and purple. On the nose, earthy aromas, black fruits, violets, and mint. On the palate, there coffee, dark chocolate, blackberry and licorice - a complex wine.

    The 2008 La Violeta is the sophomore release of their flagship pure Malbec raised in the same way as La Violette in Pomerol and is bridled with 15.5% alcohol. It has a heady, opulent bouquet that, dare I say, reminds me of its Pomerol counterpart in its youth. It offers a smorgasbord of ripe red cherries, creme de cassis, vanilla and blueberry jam all wrapped up in creamy new oak. The palate is full-bodied with plush velvety tannins and low acidity. Everything here is beautifully intermarried with new oak melted into the texture. It is decadent and sumptuous and will appeal to hedonists and classicists alike. Drink now-2016+.

    Attractive nose of ripe dark plums, coffee, roasted cocoa beans and dried herbs. Full-bodied with powdery, chalky tannins. Lovely chocolate and walnut character. Plush and delicious with a generous, fleshy mid-palate.

Bodega Monteviejo Winery Video

The critically acclaimed Monteviejo winery lies in Vista Flores, Tunuyán, in the heart of the Uco Valley. The magnificent winery, on its 321-acre property, is nestled along the foot of the Andes Mountains, which provides a scenic backdrop worthy of the quality and pedigree of the wines Monteviejo produces. The estate’s owners, the Péré Vergé family, and winemaker Marcelo Pelleriti, are devoted to making exceptional wines of power, elegance, and typicity that consistently garner top reviews and wine enthusiasts around the world. The winery is currently adapting their vineyard and winery practices to be 100% organic.

From the beginning, Monteviejo has operated the winery around gentle handling of the grapes. Harvest is manual. In the vineyards, low-production, high-quality French clones were chosen.

Winemaker, enologist and general manager, Marcelo Pelleriti, is renowned in the industry and has worked in both France and Argentina under the guide of his mentor, Michel Rolland. For more than 15 years, Marcelo has directed the harvests in Bordeaux for Château La Violette, Château Le Gay and Château Montviel, living in France between September and November every year since 2001. His expertise in these two distinct terroirs has helped him garner international renown for these exceptional wines. Marcelo consistently receives high ratings for his wines, often earning 95 points and above in both France and Argentina.

Celebrated for its bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. The grape originated in Bordeaux, France, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. A French agronomist, who saw great potential for the variety in Mendoza’s hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. Somm Secret—If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins.

Uco Valley Wine

Mendoza, Argentina

View all products

With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation and well-draining alluvial soils, it is no surprise that Mendoza’s Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.

This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay also perform well here.
