Château Pineraie
Cahors Malbec



I had it at Covell. I ended up accidentally buying the same at thanksgiving in St. Louis. And now I’m back at Covell drinking it because it stands well in many ways: it has a refreshing nature—some sort of herbal underbelly to it berry cassis fun. So far my top cahors pick but there’s more to be tried...

Dec 5th, 2018"The Black Wine of Cahors" doesn't disappoint. Opaque purple color, with black fruits dominating the nose, berry, plum and currant. The wine has good weight to it, supporting the earthen notes of turned earth and wet leaves. The finish leaves a little to be desired but otherwise this is a decently powerful malbec.

Cuvee l'Authentique, full bodied wine with power but also elegance, very nice drinking now

Dec 26th, 2014Interesting to compare to Argentine Malbec; this had the same berry notes but also a touch of green / herbal which I haven't noticed in the New World style.

Pleasantly sweet, light but bold

Peppery, almost spicy wine but light. Pair with spaghetti or linguine in a tomato sauce for a contrast.

At Kendell’s in Leeds. Much nicer after 15 mins out of the bottle, when it was a pleasure.
