The "black wines" of Cahors are historically (and presently) heavily dependent on the Malbec, although the grape's presence in Bordeaux has declined a great deal since the mid-twentieth century. In California, it is more often found as a component of the Meritage, or "Bordeaux-style" blends than as a stand alone varietal. &nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The premier release of the CCV Malbec (100% stand-alone varietal) is a fruit-forward, eminently drinkable wine even in its relative youth. Richly textured in the mouth, the flavors of dark cherry with hints of herbs and leather meld well with the oak-derived flavors of dark roasted cocoa bean, spice and vanilla. Tannins are round and smooth, which makes some short term cellaring an option (2-3 years would be reasonable) but not a necessity.&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Serve with: </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">A rich, moderately spiced Mol&#233; Sauced Chicken or Pepper Steak would stand up well to this lively, flavorful wine</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">&nbsp;</div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">The Stats: <br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" />Alc: 14.9%<br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" />TA: 0.61 g/100ml<br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" />pH: 3.71<br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" />RS: nil&nbsp;</div> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: 07MALB1B </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Category1" TITLE="Order Wines">Order Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product92 TITLE="2004 En Casa Merlot Sonoma/Carneros (1 750ml Bottle)">2004 En Casa Merlot Sonoma/Carneros (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2004 "En Casa" Merlot Sonoma/Carneros (1 Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product127 TITLE="2005 En Casa Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)">2005 En Casa Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2005 "En Casa" Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (1 Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product89 TITLE="2005 En Casa Grenache (1 750ml Bottle)">2005 En Casa Grenache (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2005 Grenache "En Casa" San Luis Obispo (1 Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product93 TITLE="2005 En Casa Syrah Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)">2005 En Casa Syrah Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2005 "En Casa" Syrah Napa Valley (1 Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product130 TITLE="2007 En Casa Pinot Grigio California (1 750ml Bottle)">2007 En Casa Pinot Grigio California (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2007 En Casa Pinot Grigio California (1 750ml Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product168 TITLE="2008 Rose Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)">2008 Rose Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2008 Rose Napa Valley (1 750ml Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product154 TITLE="2008 Riesling - El Dorado County (1 750ml Bottle)">2008 Riesling - El Dorado County (1 750ml Bottle)</A> -- 2008 Riesling - El Dorado County (1 750ml Bottle) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product146 TITLE="Dessert Treats Package">Dessert Treats Package</A> -- Dessert Treats Package <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product148 TITLE="Lunch &amp; Dinner Package">Lunch & Dinner Package</A> -- Dessert Treats Package <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product144 TITLE="Suite for Chocolate Package">Suite for Chocolate Package</A> -- Suite for Chocolate Package <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product147 TITLE="Tour D&#8217;Elegance Package">Tour D’Elegance Package</A> -- Tour D’Elegance Package <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ccv/Product126 TITLE="2005 Guillermo M.
