Varietal Birthplace Year
Malbec Cahors 2010
This bold red has a deep red color and aromas of plum and blueberry with earthy subtones. It has brambly blackberry flavors with hints of white pepper. There are some sturdy tannins here but it’s a very satisfying wine with a long finish.
Blackberry, blue and black plum, violet, lemon blossom.
The underappreciated Cahors region of southwestern France owes thanks for its bump in renown to Argentina, which turned Cahors’ grape—Malbec—into an international celebrity. Here in southwestern France, Malbec traditionally yields spicy, muscular reds of deep color and teeth-staining tannins. But the soaring popularity of Argentinean Malbec spurred producers in Cahors to rethink the grape they’d been growing for centuries and refine their work to produce smoother, more available wines like this one. Brothers Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe are dedicated second generation vintners who farm 27 hectares with a team of 12 employees. Their passions are wine and motorcycles.
Malbec often accompanies beef and for good reason: Malbec’s sweet, spicy fruit complements all kinds of beef dishes, especially those cooked over an open flame. Let’s go with an Argentine favorite, my Gaucho- Grilled Steak and Chimichurri Sauce.
Tucked into a rounded nook of the Lot River, Cahors is a lovely medieval city almost entirely surrounded by water. The city’s most memorable landmark is the Valentré Bridge and the nearby ramparts which took 7 decades to build in the 1300s.
