Masperie Les Escures Cahors Malbec – 2009 – 9.2 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Super dark wine notes of  blueberry, mushroom, hint of chile Ancho, and lavender.  Rustic scents of leather, sage and wood pile. 100% organic malbec

Think this is the Malbec that everyone wants to enjoy but never ends up buying.  A gorgeous wine.
