2022 Clos La Coutale Cahors Malbec
Cahors is the sneakily sophisticated but humbler country cousin of Bordeaux. It’s the ancestral home of Malbec and it captures everything that makes this estate beloved by sommeliers, importers, and everyday drinkers alike: depth without heaviness, structure without austerity, and earthy charm wrapped in juicy fruit. This is one of our favorite party picks.
Organic farming practices and aged for a year in French oak barrels.
