Country: France / Southwest France
Variety: Malbec
Winery: Clos de Gamot / Cuvée des Vignes Centenaires
This is a traditional style—emphasizing earthy tannins and spicy fruit and is rough around the edges—but is a wine that would relish being partnered with sausages, salamis and hard cheeses. There is plenty of weight, the acidity coming from minerality and wood.
