Michel Rolland gave an interview to Richard Woodard, from the magazine Drinks International, on Malbec from Cahors and Argentina:
"Rolland has maintained his connection with both and there is one common factor - Malbec. More readily associated with Merlot and Cabernet thanks to his consultancies in Bordeaux, Rolland has spent years observing one of the Médoc's all-but forgotten varieties in the sun-baked vineyards of Mendoza and the rolling hills surrounding Cahors in south west France."

Rustic, is it good or bad for a wine?
I think of rustic mostly as a good thing. When discussing good value wines, I think of it as off-the-beaten-path varieties or regions that maybe have some quirks or rough edges but also have a certain undeniable charm, particularly in the face of a pasteurized, homogenized wine in an "international" style.
