Le Rocher des Violettes Cot Vieilles Vignes Loire 2017

I have tasted some Malbec from the Loire that got me really excited, but never knew if it could excite a wine geek AND appeal to the majority of consumers. The search is now over because this has all of the old-school flavors of forest floor, a wet pile of leaves that you jumped into as a kid and all of the black fruits and plum to go with the herbal notes. Everything you could want in Loire Côt.
