“2008 Festivo is by far the best valued malbec on the shelf! This distinctive and emblematic variety of Argentina, which falls somewhere between Cabernet and Merlot, has successfully exploded in popularity. It is dark crimson in color with a fragrant nose of blueberries and spice. Medium bodied, hints of dark chocolate, a touch of smoke and minerality with delicious spice and plum characters steering to a lengthy finish. 2008 Festivo malbec is a true expression of this variety at an everyday price.” 90 Points, Shannon Sprentall
Monteviejo’s 2008 Festivo Malbec offers up an attractive nose of spice box, incense, and black cherry. This leads to a medium-bodied wine with ample ripe black fruit, plenty of spice notes, good depth, and a medium-long finish. Drink it over the next 5 years. 87 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #184 Aug 2009
