Montchenot is a range released many years after the harvest. I tasted the 2013 Montchenot 10 años that was only bottled in May 2022. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Malbec, which they described as Left Bank Bordeaux with the Argentinean touch of Malbec. This was first produced in 1956 and released in 1966, always conceived as a wine with long aging; it's not old bottles that they sell later. It's silky, complex, developed and polished, a little à la Viña Tondonia but with the Bordeaux twist, herbal and peppery, with a touch of paprika, still keeping the poise and freshness, even some fruit. It was kept in large oak vats for 48 months. ... More details

Savory porcini mushrooms, iron, mineral, some dried orange peel and dried plums. The medium-bodied palate shows some baking spices and a slightly austere finish. Linear and pretty “conservative.” Not generous, but it is holding well for a 2013. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and malbec. Drink now.

Region: Cuyo

The region of Cuyo has been internationally associated with fine Argentinian wine for several decades, and has a wine history which stretches back centuries to the time of the original Spanish settlers, who sought areas in which to plant imported grape vines for sacramental wine production. The region contains several of Argentina's most renowned and widely appreciated provinces, including the Mendoza, La Rioja, San Juan and San Luis, and the mountainous nature of this arid region provides an ideal environment for vineyard cultivation. As the mighty Desaguadero River snakes its way between the Andes, it deposits plenty of important minerals in the soil, which allow grape varietals closely associated with the Argentinian wine industry – such as Malbec – to grow to a perfect level of ripeness. As such, even in the driest areas of the Cuyo region, flavorful and fruit-forward wines are produced in impressive amounts.

Country: Argentina

Anyone who has been the Mendoza area of Argentina may be surprised to find that this is one of the primary wine regions of the country, now comfortably sitting as the fifth largest producer of wine in the world. The Mendoza is an incredibly dry and arid desert, which receives as little as two hundred millimeters of rainfall per year, and supports very little life at all. We can thank the ancient technologies of the Huarpes Indians for Argentina's current booming wine trade, as they managed to irrigate the region by digging channels from the Mendoza river, thus creating an area which had enough access to water with which to grow vines. Not only this, but the grape which Argentina primarily uses for their wines – Malbec – actually flourishes in such conditions, as it is less likely to suffer from the rot it so often finds in the considerably damper regions of Europe it has its origins in. Such expertise and foresight has resulted in Argentina being able to produce high quality wines of both red and white types, with Malbec, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the vineyards for red wines, and Torrontés, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc making up for most of the white wine produced there.
