What to Expect

Malbec's origins as a blending grape and the core of the sometimes rustic wines of Cahors are quickly becoming forgotten as the grape becomes solidly associated with Argentina. A heat-loving variety of grape, it has always struggled to ripen in France. While still capable of producing a full-bodied rich wine, the tannins in these were formidable. In warmer climates the tannins are able to ripen fully, yielding rich, velvety wines packed with black spice notes and dark berry fruit.

I like this Malbec at this price point. Blended with 20% Merlot. It's nice when you want something more old world style, and not a fruit bomb from Mendoza. :)

"With a satiny texture and a palpable sense of density, it saturates the palate...Enjoy this fascinatingly delicious and versatile red anytime over the next 4-5 years...89." WA 9/08
