Lower ABV Yes, Buzet is an obscure appellation and it takes a pretty dedicated importer to even visit this hidden region southwest of Cahors, much less find a really good wine there. Mary Taylor has done both! This is a crunchy, earthy, complex blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Buzet, made without oak and just 13.0% alcohol. You'll find dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit here with a big dose of forest floor underbrush and something savory/smoky/meaty as well. Finishes with the kind of grip that works well with steak or lamb off the grill. As The New York Times said of a past release, this is, "a really nice red...that is earthy and chewy.
For You If: You're in the mood for French country wine to enjoy with meaty/fatty country foods; you enjoy the flavors of Bordeaux and are looking for something a bit juicier and more fun.
Not For You If: You're after a lot of richness, flesh or super-ripe fruit - this is nicely savory and juicy and stays very fresh.
