Argentina shines...



2005 Bressia Profundo....$39.99
"The 2005 Profundo Malbec was sourced from 20-year-old vines in Agrelo. Saturated purple in color, it has a complex nose of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, black currant, and blackberry. More structured than the Monteagrelo cuvee, it has densely layered fruit, savory flavors, and excellent balance. It will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2025."
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate


2007 Bressia Monteagrelo Cabernet Sauvignon....$29.99
Aged in French and American oak barrels for 15 months.
Intense red color with purple tones. Pepper, spice and red fruit aromas on the nose. Well balanced, ripe and harmonious. Full bodied and a great structure." -- importer
"Red-ruby. Varietally expressive aromas and flavors of redcurrant, mocha, licorice and tobacco leaf, with spicy and peppery nuances. Creamy and concentrated, but with bright acidity giving shape to the middle palate. Finishes with serious but suave tannins and very good length."
