2007 Bressia, Lagrima Canela, Mendoza 6/750ml
“Lagrima canela” means “Cinnamon tear”.
Made from 70 % Chardonnay, 30 % Semillon. Barrel fermented.
"The Bressia portfolio contains one white wine, the 2007
Lagrima Canela, an intriguing blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30%
Semillon aged for 14 months in new French and American oak.
Light gold colored with a perfume of candle wax, pear, melon,
and toasty oak, on the palate the wine is medium-bodied with
well-integrated oak, dry flavors, a creamy texture, and
outstanding depth and concentration. This nicely balanced
effort is likely to drink well for another 4-5 years."

Aged in French and American oak barrels for 15 months.
Intense red color. Spicy aromas, coffee and cinnamon
notes. Delicate and well balanced. Good concentration, ample
in the mouth, elegant flavors, harmonious and a long finish.

black fruits, licorice and smoky oak. Then broad and
moderately sweet on the palate, with nicely rich, pliant
flavors of blackberry and licorice."

"The red wines begin with the 2007 Monteagrelo
Syrah, Bressia’s first vintage of Syrah. It spent 12 months in
a mix of new and used French and American oak. Deep
purple-colored, it offers up an alluring perfume of cedar,
leather, pepper, game, and blueberry. Surprisingly elegant on
the palate, it has plenty of ripe black and blue fruit, spicy,
savory flavors, a plush texture, good depth, and a
fruit-filled finish. This nicely balanced effort will evolve
for 2-3 years and offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2019."

2007 Bressia, Monteagrelo, Malbec Mendoza 6/750ml
Aged in French oak barrels.
No filtration and no fining.
This wine is a blend from five parcels.
Monteagrelo Malbec is an attractive and intense red
colored wine with purple tones.
It exhibits ripe red and
black fruit aromas mixed with vanilla, chocolate and coffee
nuances. Good concentration, great structure, delicate
tannins, and a long, harmonious finish.
"Bright ruby-red. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, pepper,
leather and sandalwood, with notes of smoke and meat that
reminded me of syrah. Dense, layered wine with a pliant
texture and ripe acidity to frame the berry flavors. Comes
across as sweeter than the cabernet but not at all roasted.
Good stuffing here. "

2006 Bressia, Monteagrelo, Malbec Mendoza 6/750ml
Aged in French oak barrels.
No filtration and no fining.
This wine is a blend from five parcels.
"Bright red-ruby. Exotic aromas of musky red fruits,
espresso, smoke, leather, game and pepper; I would have picked
this blind as syrah-or mourvedre. Then elegant and complex in
the mouth, with flavors of berries, leather, pepper, dried
herbs, spices and minerals nicely framed by fresh acidity. A
sharply delineated and grown-up wine, finishing with sweet
tannins and very good length."

"One of my favorite Malbecs from Mendoza. It is
full-bodied, juicy, and a blend from three vineyards in Agrelo
and Lujan de Cuyo (closer to the city). This is a concentrated
wine with an inky purplish color. It has a very sensual nose
full of mocha and vanilla scents and black plums. In the
mouth, it has presence, this is not a wimpy wine, definitely
tannins happening here. But it is smooth, elegant. An image of
a powerful, beautiful woman dressed in a flowing gala dress
appears to me, which I think embodies its personality of
strength, charisma, and finesse. I am all over the cassis
flavors in this wine too. After having drunk a couple bottles
of this on different occasions, it is one of those wines that
the decanter is empty and you think, “how’d that happen so
Fast?” And this wine is a steal at about US$27.

2005 Bressia, Monteagrelo, Malbec Mendoza 6/750ml
"The 2005 Malbec Monteagrelo was
sourced from five parcels, aged in French oak, and bottled
unfined and unfiltered. Deep crimson-colored, it has an
expressive nose of cedar, tobacco, coffee, black currant and
black cherry. This leads to a smooth-textured, seamless wine
with superior depth, ripe flavors, and a forward personality.
Drink this outstanding value in Malbec over the next 5-7
years."

2006 Bressia, Profundo, Mendoza 6/750ml
Aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels (first
and second use).
Intense red color with purple tones.
Delicate strawberry, blackberry aromas interwined with
chocolate, tobacco, dulce de leche and vanilla nuances.
Harmonious and elegant in the mouth,
and a long finish.
"(a blend of 50%
malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 10% each merlot and syrah)
Bright ruby-red. Superripe aromas of cherry compote, cola and
vanilla. Round and sweet, with ripe currant, cherry, mocha and
nutty, caramelly oak flavors verging on jammy. Finishes with
sweet tannins. A mouthfilling wine."

"This wine is all about complexity. The concentration and nose
of this wine is just awesome. Made from 50% Malbec, 30%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the spicy addition of 10%
Syrah, the nose of this wine is seductive and rich. Lush,
perhaps is the best description. It reminds me of a blackberry
patch with something slightly herbaceous and an earthy sweet
note like vanilla bean. In the mouth, it is a chewy wine but
that finesse (Walter’s mano, style) is ever present.
The wine undresses itself as it breathes. I think it is best
to open it, try it, decant it. Drink it slowly, preferably
with somebody whose company you love and will appreciate it.
Very memorable–and only a few hundred cases made. Worth
seeking out (we have one left in our cellar, yeah!)."

"The 2004 Profundo is composed of 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10%

Purple/black in color, it reveals notes of wood smoke, pencil
lead, black currants, and blueberry. On the palate it is
medium to full-bodied with layers of spicy dark fruits,
intense flavors, nicely concealed tannin, and a 45-second
finish. It will evolve for several years and drink well
through 2020."

Mistral, and Radoux), and 30% American oak.
"(50% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot) Good full
medium ruby. Wild, smoky aromas of blackberry, licorice,
leather and flowers; I would have guessed this had some syrah.
Broad, lush and seamless, with a captivating restrained
sweetness to the soil-driven flavors of dark berries, flowers
and licorice. This big boy boasts a wonderfully fine-grained
texture and expands impressively to fill the mouth. A suave
and tactile blend, with no heaviness. Finishes very long, with
supple tannins that will not get in the way of enjoying this
wine now. "

“Dense,
but nicely rounded and well-integrated, with hints of mesquite
and fruitcake mingling with dark plum and blackberry fruit.
Long and lush through the finish, while staying focused and
pure. Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through

"The
2004 Conjuro is a blend of 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon,
and 20% Merlot from the Tupungata region of Mendoza and was
aged in French and American oak. Inky purple, it offers an
impressive bouquet of pain grille, mineral, scorched earth,
black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied, dense, and
brooding, the wine has gobs of flavor, ripe tannins, and a
long, pure finish. It will profit from an additional 8-10
years in the cellar and should drink well through 2040."
