Bramare Malbec 2013

Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaAll malbec, grown at 3,330 to 3,845 feet above sea level on sandy rocky soils. The fruit is all hand-harvested from sites in San Carlos and Tupungato, in Valle de Uco. Yields are low 2 - 3.79 tons per acre. It spends 17 months in 5% new French oak and 26% new American oak barrels. The other 69% goes into second year wood. The colour is opaque, the aromas intense with big stony, mineral red fruits with floral violet undertones. Rich ripe and powerful style with plenty of licorice, vanilla, coffee, cola notes that definitely warms the palate from front to back. Grilled steak is the ticket here.Tasted: 04 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
