I love Malbecs. I would be interested in hearing your take on Cline Cashmere Red Blend California 2008. It has what a friend of mine, and wine seller, calls "barn yard funk." I'm know expert, but it is something I enjoy. I really enjoyed this article. I love Malbecs.

Because in France, they were usually too tannic or acidic to stand alone, but were excellent for giving backbone when a blend was seeming a bit flaccid. Oh and I love bonarda argentina! There are a few single-varietal French wines that hold up really well, including cabernet franc from the Loire.
