Clos La Coutale Cahors 2020 375 ml

Move over South America, your posh and traditional relatives are coming for dinner, and they are serious. This Malbec, from the grape’s homeland just outside of Bordeaux, possesses the grapes typical fruit forward markers, but there is an earthy quality to it that is classic. Cocoa, black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, cola, herbs and ripe tannins.  The wine is big enough to age, but it brings so much drinking pleasure today. Open it tonight!
