Coya Malbec Napa Valley 2003
Malbec is typically a great bang for your buck/value wine, but rarely get's hyped up. Wine dorks just don't get excited by it like they do other grapes (or specific regions). There is a ton produced in the $10-$25/btl retail range, and a lot of it is very similar in taste/style. Malbec (French pronunciation: [malbɛk]) is a purple grape variety used in making red wine. The grapes tend to have an inky dark color and robust tannins, and are known as one of the six grapes allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine.
Malbec is a grape variety that originated in France, where it was primarily used as a blending grape to make Bordeaux for many years. While the grape had excellent potential to be made into the pure Malbec wine we know and love today, only one region, Cahors, historically did so.
