Bremerton Special Release Malbec 2008
Fractionally salty and savoury, this generous and oaky red is difficult to score with conviction. Its minty, faintly smoky and earthy aromas of dark plums, red berries, blackberries and cherries are backed by restrained vanilla oak. Moderately long, but with a pronounced briny aspect, its firmish and sweetly oaked palate is backed by drying tannins, finishing with a baked, currant-like aspect.

Winery
Bremerton
Bremerton is a maker of very ripe, intensely fruited, generously oaked and affordable red wines suited to immediate enjoyment. Recent years have seen a pleasing refinement, as the wines now appear more elegant and less chunky, with an improved sense of balance and elegance, but without compromising an iota of flavour. As they become more elegant, they're able to cellar for longer. Bremerton is refocusing its white wine endeavours towards Italian varieties.
