DESCRIPTION
A superlative, well structured Mendoza Malbec from what's widely considered the best wine growing region in the Argentina.
The lowdown:
Paul Hobbs, the owner of Viña Cobos, is a prolific winemaker. In addtion to Argentina he has well regarded wineries in California, France and Armenia. However it was in Mendoza in the late 1980s that he made a real mark. In that time Malbec has become Argentina's signature red wine and the one's made at Viña Cobos are among the best examples to be had. This spends 18 months in a combination of new and used French and American oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is a wine with aromas of ripe red and black fruit mixed with spicy notes of vanilla, clove, cinnamon and cigar box. It's complex, long and structured wine with broad, firm tannins and rounds off with a long and satisfying red fruit finish.
When to drink:
A simply succulent wine that would partner similarly succulent meat, something along the lines of a slow roast leg of lamb.
Suitable for Vegans
PRODUCER
Vina Cobos
Viña Cobos is the inspired vision of American Paul Hobbs, who after considerable experience at some of the most prestigious wineries in California's Napa Valley arrived in Mendoza in 1988 to take on the challenge of crafting world-class wines on a level never before achieved in Argentina.
At their winery just to the south of Mendoza he and his team at Viña Cobos have dedicated themselves to seek out, study, and develop vineyard sites in the two premier growing regions of Mendoza: Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco. Through meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention in the winemaking process, the wines express the true essence of their terroir with finesse, complexity, and authenticity. Since the first vintage release in 1999, Viña Cobos has pushed the boundaries of quality for malbec and for Argentina, striving to continuously set the standard for excellence in the region.
