Malbec may have found a new home in Argentina, but it's birthplace is actually Bordeaux! In Roman times, wines from the region of Cahors were called "black wine," for their deep purple hue, and their rustic intensity. This Cahors is a new breed though, elegant, aromatic, and full-fruited, it opens with a touch of balsamic with dried herbs, and dark flowers, while the palate is long, and subtle, with dark fruits.

It's hard to beat meat and Malbec, and this wine will go excellently beside anything that comes off the barbecue, protein and vegetable alike. Turn to pork and beef for proteins, or darker, substantial veg like beets or eggplant.
