Silice

2014 Cahors Malbec

Chateau Saint Sernin Silice is a striking red wine crafted from Malbec grapes, showcasing the rich terroir of Cahors in the 2014 vintage. This wine presents a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its intense fruit flavors, offering a harmonious blend of dark berries, plum, and a hint of chocolate. The acidity is bright and lively, creating a mouthwatering sensation that balances the plush fruitiness beautifully. Tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and depth to the wine, ensuring it can age gracefully while still being accessible in its youth. With its off-dry finish, this Malbec embodies a delightful approachability, perfect for enjoying with hearty meals or simply on its own.

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.
