2020 gascon Malbec

---

I haven't found a Malbec I really liked enough to buy again although I have tried quite a few.

^ you into Cabernet??

Malbec was originally blended with cabs to make them taste better so I’ve read. I know they don’t get the hype Cabernet does but they kinda fit me
Love to try something bold that you enjoy

Yep, I love meritage wines in many verities but was just speaking of Malbec wines alone. We have even done a few blends ourselves when we have friends over and open 4-5 different bottles and have a contest to see who can blend the best meritage.

Typical blend that might work well:

Cabernet 50%
Cabernet Franc 10%
Merlot 30%
Pitite Verdot or Malbec 10%

^ awesome! That sounds like a good time. I’ll have to try this

A fantastic wine and beautiful winery. All their other labels are great also. Used to be in their wine club.
