Georges Vigouroux Gouleyant 2010 Cahors

Gouleyant means "Facile à Boire" = "Easy to Drink"
Made primarily with Malbec (about 80%) with the balance Merlot.

In the glass this wine displays a bright, deep cherry color with bluish highlights consistent to a narrow dark pink rim.  On the nose the wine wine offers a light intensity of red fuit, possibly raspberry, but it is elusive,  The wine is dry, medium-bodied with a low level of fine grained tannins and mouth-watering acidity.  The flavors are low intensity resembling unripe blackberry or blueberry.  The finish is clean and short with a very slight hint of lingering red fruit and refreshing character.

Wine & Food:  Serve between 55F and 60F.  The refreshing character of this wine makes it a wonderful for a barbecue, informal meat dish, pasta, pizza and watching a movie with your friends.  Remember this is a wine that is Goueyant!!

Approximate Retail Price: US$11.00
