Saturated, bright ruby-red. Aromas of black raspberry, roast coffee, fig, licorice, mocha and musky oak. Plush, pliant and sweet, with seductive berry, coffee, spicecake and tobacco flavors complicated by smoke and game nuances. Finishes with sweet tannins, a whiff of herbs and sneaky persistence.

Go To 2011 Bressia Monteagrelo Malbec

The outstanding 2011 Malbec Monteagrelo was aged in French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. Its dark purple color is followed by notes of chocolate, espresso, blackberries and black raspberries. Medium to full-bodied with excellent concentration, sweet tannin and an impressive finish, it should drink well for 5-7 years.

"The 2012 Malbec Monteagrelo is mostly from Agrelo with around 20% grapes from Vista Flores in the Uco Valley, a ripe red that matured in French oak for 18 months. It revealed ripe aromas of juicy berries and moderate influence from the élevage with some spiciness. The very supple palate shows less influence from the wood and is more fruit-driven with nice fruit and good structure offered by sweet tannins and moderate acidity."

"Ripe berry and plum aromas are full and good. This Malbec has an easy mouthfeel that’s weighty but well defined, with modest tannins and integrated acidity. Ripe cassis and berry flavors finish with a touch of creamy oak. - Michael Schachner"
