Cosse et Maisonneuve Cahors La Fage 2018 2018

The vineyard site is located on the third terrace; a site that is regarded as one of the best terroirs for Malbec in the entire region of Cahors. This wine is made up of one hundred percent Malbec grown on clay and limestone which provide a certain roundedness and acidity respectively. Black and blue fruits on the nose meld effortlessly into earthy-leather notes on the palate. This medium-to-full-bodied wine is surprisingly smooth and silky, much like we imagine the color would purple would taste. Allow the wine to breathe before enjoying; doing so will bring the subtle smoke and chocolate flavors through on the finish.

This wine pairs well with red meat, particularly beef and venison. Take the time to grill your preferred protein, and serve with earth-driven side dishes like roasted mushrooms with sage and rosemary.
