Reviews and Ratings

BJ Oudman rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This appellation Malbec from the Uco Valley shows off the higher altitude region clearly with its fresh and focused profile. The struggle of the vines to thrive in rocky soil and cooler temperatures is rewarded by the intensity of red berries, violets and unique acidity. Intriguing expression of Malbec with the ability to provide a smooth journey for a true sense of place. Delicious with herbed lamb dishes.
Brent Gushowaty rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

The wine shows a medium depth in the glass with a purple rim. On the nose, pure, appealing, sincere notes of graphite, plum and cedar with a medium intensity and evident balancing acidity. The palate follows the nose with plum, graphite, some berries and cedar/earthy notes. The texture is very smooth and the finish here is medium plus in length.
B ~ 92

Yields: 1.56 to 4.68 tons per acre.Aging for 18 months in new French oak (20%) and new American oak (10%) in combination with second use oak (70%).
Bottled in November 2017. Unfined and unfiltered.

The Bramare series of wines are drawn from two growing regions in Mendoza - Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco.
