The nose has some baked berry-pastry aromas with red-plum pie and fresh baking spices. The tannins are smoothly wrapped and cradle fresh red-berry flavors in approachable style.

The 2017 Elite Malbec follows the new direction of more freshness, less oak and better drinkability, as I saw with the 2016s. It's quite transparent with the conditions of the vintage, with riper fruit than in 2016, varietal and harmonious and with an elegant palate where the components feel in balance.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
