Clos Triguedina 2005 The Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $156
In the Middle Ages, the wines of Cahors used to be called “black wines” and the tradition comes from cooking the grapes for a night after harvest.

- Online Exclusive
- $49
Still young, this wine shows the firm tannins of ripe Malbec, allied with some equally tannic Tannat. At this stage its berry fruits and acidity will cut through grilled red meats with ease. In 4–5 years, the richness of the wine will come through.

Clos Triguedina 2005 Le Malbec du Clos (Vin de Pays du Comté Tolosan)

A wine that is all about fruit. The flavors are of licorice, with some bitter herbs, but there’s also black currant jelly to go along with the fresh and vibrant acidity.
