Malbec (pronounced [mal.bɛk]) 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. In France, plantations of Malbec are now found primarily
in Cahors in South West France, though the grape is grown worldwide. It
is increasingly celebrated as an Argentine varietal.
