Malbec fans — this is not your Argentina styled wine, or even California for that matter. Everything about it says France, from the funky nose that you’ll want to mitigate with a long decant, to its perfumed fruit and spice aromas, structured acidity and long, complex finish. So, I’d say Parilla, no, wild game, oui!
