Featured Recipe Pairing
Baked Ham
Baked Ham
Ham owes its popularity not only to its smoky-salty flavor but also to its ability to feed a lot of people with very little effort for the cook. This recipe is no exception. The salty meat is accented by the sweet-tart glaze of orange marmalade, Dijon mustard and fresh ginger.

Additional Wine Information

Story
Cayu, which means “six” in Argentina’s Mapuche dialect, is a new line of small-lot wines from six accomplished winemaking friends—three Argentines and three Chileans. They include Cristobal Undurraga, whose family sold its eponymous Chilean brand in 2006, and Mario and Ricardo Toso, of Argentina’s Bodega Pascual Toso. The six friends’ combined experience encompasses prestigious wineries in France, Napa Valley and Australia, as well as their home countries. For this Malbec, the Cayu team looked to the Uco Valley, a high-altitude rift in the Andean foothills irrigated by snowmelt. An emerging subregion of the long-established Mendoza region, the Uco Valley offers the kind of hot summer days and chilly mountain nights that help create ideally flavored fruit. There, Malbec vines develop small thick-skinned grapes that make wines with deep concentration and a bold, age-worthy structure. Just 600 cases were produced.
Sense
Sweet cherry and blueberry aromas gain complexity from coffee, dried herb and allspice notes.
Savor
This intense Malbec offers plum and clove flavors, velvety tannins and enough acidity to keep the ripe fruit in check.
Serve
Malbec often accompanies beef in Argentina, for good reason: Malbec’s sweet, spicy fruit complements all kinds of beef dishes, especially those cooked over an open flame. Lamb and pork will also be terrific with the Cayu Malbec. To play to the wine’s spicy-sweet character, try recipes that incorporate spices, like Lamb Tagine with Apricots and Almonds or Moorish Pork Kabobs, both available at williams-sonoma.com. Or look for dishes that call for pungent ingredients like garlic or red pepper.
Serving Instructions
Decant 30 minutes before serving, and serve a little cooler than room temperature: refrigerate the decanted wine for 10 minutes.
