La Celia Elite Malbec 2015
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaElite lives up to its name, coming from La Celia's La Consulta vineyard at 1100m. That impressive altitude easily holds the the 88 malbec, 8 cabernet franc, and 4 tannat heft aloft, buoying the near 15 degree alcohol. This is a smooth and blue fruited red with graphite, anise, cool rocks and darts of violet. The freshness rules this wine here, making it drinkable and interestingly so now, but also worthy to rest in your cellar for a few years.Tasted: 18 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
