Winemaker Notes
Cabernet sauvignon is the main component of this exquisiteblend, offering a predominance of fruit and noticeableminerality. It shows an intense ruby red color and aromas ofred fruits, licorice, lead, gunpowder, pepper and chocolate; asubtle hint of spearmint complements the profile withfreshness and elegance. In the mouth we find red fruits,licorice and marmalade; an intense, broad wine with aparticular mineral texture, its long finish invites us to keepdiscovering it.
Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec

Aromas of dried meat, dark fruit and currant. Decadent character. Full body, chocolate, tea and berry. Velvety tannins and a savory finish. 95% cabernet sauvignon with the balance malbec. Drink or hold.

Creamy hints to the cherry tart and dark plum flavors give this a touch of richness. The savory finish lingers with cocoa powder and dried green herbs. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

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.
