deLorimier Malbec

deLorimier Malbec Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: Visually stunning with incredibly deep purple and crimson, so dark it is remeniscent of the "Black wines of the Cahors". Soft, ripe fruit aromas of blackberry jam offset with delicate hints of rose petal and eucalyptus. A dark berry concentration luxuriates on the palate, with blackberry, cherry compote and boysenberry that are juicy and satisfying. Smooth and silky tannins support a long, deep and persistent finish that is simultaneously balanced and intense. Serve with a classic "Steak au Poivre" and take your senses to a whole other level of enjoyment.

Varietal Definition
Malbec:
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" for red wine grapes. Malbec is typically a medium to full-bodied red wine. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine. Malbec goes well with roast meats such as chicken or turkey. It should be served at 58F and can be aged for up to 5 years typically.
