This wine showcases a deep, vibrant red color that entices the eye and promises rich flavors. The body is full, offering a well-rounded mouthfeel that envelops the palate with its generous character. Bright acidity balances the blend beautifully, providing a refreshing lift that draws you in for another sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with luscious notes of dark berries and plums complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness typical of the terroir.

This remarkable wine is crafted to be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully for years to come.

Region:


Cahors

Southwestern France's Cahors region is known for its deep, dark red wines of the same name. This small town on the Lot River is the original home of the Malbec grape, which tastes very different from its modern Argentinean cousins. In Cahors, this juicy grape is known as Côt, and makes leaner and drier wines than New World examples. Expect earthy flavors of dried leaves and cocoa, firm tannins and such a concentration of color (and polyphenols) that Cahors is sometimes known as "black wine." While the majority of Cahors is single-varietal, sometimes Merlot and/or Tannat are blended in. Aged in oak, these wines exhibit intense flavors of dark berry and spice.
