WINE PICKS BY WINE PROS
2006 Clos La Coutale, Cahors, France
This week's pick is the 2006 Clos la Coutale from Cahors, France, and is recommended by The Wine Coach, Laurie Forster. Made mostly from Malbec, the red wines of Cahors are known as “the black wines” for their inky colors. A bit leaner than an Argentinean Malbec, this medium bodied red has flavors of black cherry, blackberry, licorice and a touch of pepper. Finishing with velvety tannins this would be a perfect match for duck confit, roast beef or lamb stew.
Clos la Coutale is imported by one of Forster's favorites—Kermit Lynch. "When I see Kermit’s name on the back of a bottle, I know it’s going to be great!" While he offers thoughtful selections from the usual suspects like Burgundy or Bordeaux, it is the wines from little known regions like Cahors, Bourgueil or Gigondas that make his portfolio truly exciting.
Laurie Forster is a professional sommelier, author of The Sipping Point, A Crash Course in Wine, and the host of a weekly radio show Something to Wine About®. She will appear alongside Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis at the upcoming Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show in Washington D.C. on November 8th & 9th.
You can find Clos La Coutale at a number of retailers for about $14 a bottle. FIND IT!
