Reviews:

• James Suckling: The aromas in this red make it hard to tip the glass for a sip, showing notes of violet, cassis, wild thyme and chocolate-covered cherries. The rich, full-bodied palate doesn't disappoint, picking up where the nose left off, with a backbone of graphite adding spiced plum and blackberry. Reveals hints of singed orange peel that fold in around velvety tannins, with rich chocolaty notes that linger and echo back to the core flavors.

Producer Information

Viña Cobos makes wines that are authentic expressions of the terroir from which they come. Paul Hobbs, founding partner and winemaker at Viña Cobos, has worked since 1988 in the exploration of the different terroirs of Mendoza, looking for the most distinguished regions in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, to produce wines that uniquely express their origins. Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery, careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance. With the inaugural vintage of Cobos Malbec in 1999, Viña Cobos marked a milestone in viticulture, defying existing standards and firmly positioned Malbec and Argentina on the international wine scene. Since then, our prestigious wines have been recognized around the globe by critics and consumers alike.
