Domaine de Cause 2009 La Lande Cavagnac Malbec (Cahors)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $19
A bold statement of dark Malbec, it’s very rich and very concentrated. The wine has considerable tannins to go with the weight of its fruit. With excellent potential, this wine, made from old-vine grapes, should age for at least seven years  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Domaine de Cause 2008 Notre Dame des Champs Malbec (Cahors)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $34
A powerful, long-term wine. Its density and great concentration all show a solid, powerful character. Jammy black fruits combine with dark tannins and acidity in an already balanced wine. Hold for 4–5 years, but with the sweet fruit, it could be consumed younger.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Domaine de Cause 2007 Notre Dame des Champs Malbec (Cahors)

  1. $34
This wine reveals the intense acidity of the 2007 vintage, while managing to balance that juiciness with solid tannins. With its acidity, it can age for over 3–4 years.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Domaine de Cause 2009 Notre Dame de Champs Malbec (Cahors)

  1. $48
The top wine from Domaine de Cause, it’s huge, very dense and concentrated. There is a sense of extraction, showcased by the licorice and dark chocolate flavors. This needs to calm down to give the rich fruits a chance to shine. Give this wine 6–7 years.  — R.V.  (6/1/2013)

Domaine de Cause 2009 Malbec (Cahors)

  • Best Buy
  1. $13
A pure black-fruited wine, rich in berries and tannins. It is firmly structured, although as the wine opens up the fruit brightens. The finish is fruity, with balanced acidity.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Domaine de Cause 2010 Tradition Malbec (Cahors)

  1. $13
In Cahors, wines labeled "Tradition" are the simplest in the range. This dark-hued wine shows that character, with its blackberry flavors upfront, although there’s a strong sense of tannin as well. It will always be firm, a great wine for hard cheese and sausages.  — R.V.  (6/1/2013)

Domaine de Cause 2007 La Lande Cavagnac Malbec-Tannat (Cahors)

  1. $15
On the lean, severe side, this shows more structure than fruit. It has chocolate and dark-wood flavors that seem to push the fruit on one side.  — R.V.  (6/1/2012)

Domaine de Cause 2011 Bouquet de Cavagnac Malbec (Vin de Pays du Lot)

  1. $13
Tannic Malbec as rosé doesn’t always work. Here it does, giving a wine that is structured but also offering brilliant red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity, laced with a touch of caramel.  — R.V.  (6/1/2013)
