The SOLD OUT sign has gone up! Only a small parcel of fruit of superior quality was picked and the resulting wine was sold Cellar Door only. If this vintage and the quality of the wine making is anything to go by, this Bremerton Malbec should definitely find a place on your "must try" list.
Being lucky enough to get my hands on this wine, I was suitably impressed. If you love a big, wholesome wine with guts and glory, here is your weapon!
A delicious nose of deep plum and blackberry fruits. Violets are present too and even a hint of dried lavender. The first sip was captivating. A big mouth feel with those big fruit flavours running freely, yet soft and supple, followed by juicy tannins and an exceptionally long and lip smacking finish.
The wine is big and bold and if tannins aren't your thing, steer clear. Over time the wine softened nicely, but its gutsy profile and fullness was appealing. The tannins will help this comfortably live for at least another 5-10 years.
No surprise the wine has sold out - super value at $24!
Have with beef - lots of it! You'll be happy.... and then some!!
