Crocus focuses on making true-to-terroir wines including this textbook Malbec from Cahors. This Malbec provides a rich dark color with lots of dark fresh fruit, mushroom, potting soil, spice and mineral notes. The firm tannins and dry style highlight the earthy terroir-driven French winemaking style. While Argentina has popularized Malbec, Cahors wines are equally as good and can show the breadth of the grape’s potential. This is a bottle worth your time.
