a nice match with grilled lamb shoulder steaks with roasted garlic/onion potatoes.

Forget the vineyard I liked, but do recall that it was 90-100% Malbec depending upon the vintage.

Tried a few CA versions in the 90's that were unclear on the subject (of Malbec).

Never seen French malbec but haven't looked for it either.
