Côt (Malbec) from the Loire Valley, France; medium to medium plus bodied and dry with notes of ripe blueberry, blackberry, and plum, hints of cigar box, black pepper, and leather, with rustic, earthy undertones, medium plus acidity, dry angular tannins, and a pleasantly tart finish. Organic. This wine would love a burger, some beef stew, grilled mushrooms, or lamb anything.
