In keeping with the philosophy here of restrained ripeness, the 2017 Cabernet Malbec (13.4% alcohol) comes across as herbal on the nose, with a bit of bell pepper even, but there's also cassis and black cherries. It's medium-bodied, with tannins that manage to be silky but firm at the same time, like the stretched fabric of a kite over a balsa structure. Give it another five years or so in the cellar.
