I didn’t even know that there was such a wine as Cahors before I bought this.

For a ten dollar wine, this is pretty good! I would totally buy this again at this price.

The nose has some red fruit, and a bit of earthiness maybe. The fruit tastes like cherry and prune, the first time I’ve really noticed a strong prune taste in a wine. Not a lot of oak to this, which is nice. The wine is lighter, though with some thick tannins. The tannins don’t overwhelm the wine though, they just show up at the finish.

This wine is mostly Malbec (80%), with 15% Merlot and 5% Tannat. Never even heard of Tannat.

Overall, this is a pretty decent $10 wine. This is along the lines of the type of wine I like, less oak, not too overwhelmingly fruity. I’d definitely like to try some other Cahors wines to compare.

Price: $10

Grade: B
