Bodega Monteviejo Festivo Malbec 2017 Review
This wine is affordable and balanced and expressive and $10. Monteviejo has got it down pat with a great lineup of wines from chuggable to age-worthy. Slide this one into the chuggable category. It has great depth, is full bodied, with round cherry choulis, and flits mocha with dollops of earth to balance it all out. The tannin is well integrated and the acidity is high. It is a great wine to have on hand for spontaneous get togethers or cookouts.
