93pts James Suckling
Beautiful, clear aromas and flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Medium-firm, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Fine and polished at the end. Drink or hold.
90pts Wine Spectator
Shows abundant açaí berry, blueberry and cocoa powder notes on the nose, while the palate has a soft entry, with plum and berry tart flavors flanked by herb and spice notes in a well-structured package, ending with fine tannins and spiced chocolate notes.
Winemaker's Notes
Bright red color, with black tones. The nose expresses hints of pink pepper, black fruits and sandalwoods. It is angular with tight tannins.
History
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.
