A very different beast from Cahors let alone Mendoza, this Loire Malbec is superb. Subdued, chalky, smoky, and spicy. Drunk and enjoyed greatly with steak.

Badass Malbec from a favorite Chenin producer. Think this grape is all flesh & flash with no structure? This will slap that thought right off your tongue.
