Viña Cobos
Bramare Luján de Cuyo Malbec
Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Made with grapes from vineyards in Perdriel, Las Compuertas (replacing Lunlunta) and Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, this Malbec spent 18 months in mostly French oak, 24% of it new. Intense reddish-violet in hue. The nose offers ripe fruit with plum jam and hints of camphor, cigar box, black tea and pepper plus a delicate kirsch perfume. The tannins are dusty but gentle, while the wood lends a delicate touch. Voluminous with a terse texture, medium body and a long, pleasant finish. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, October 2020)

The wines are the result of a shared passion of three winemakers: Paul Hobbs & Argentine parters Andrea Marchiori & Luis Barraud. Dark red with aromas of dark berry fruits and enticing spices. On the palate ripe blackberry & blueberry flavors, currant like, with notes of cacao, oak and sweet spice. Fine tannins, lingering, nice balance, ending with a pleasant spice.

Wrong label but amazing Malbec from Uco valley. Perhaps one of the best argentine wine. Velvety and complex.

This wine is by far the best Mendoza Malbec I’ve ever had! No surprise it’s associated with Paul Hobbs. Not too earthy or herbaceous, great balance on this wine.

Rich like a billionaire. Nose is greeted with lovely ripe rich dark fruits, and homey spices like cinnamon and clove. Complex like Mozart. Rich tannins. And a delightful aftertaste of red fruits. Can I have another bottle please?

Stellar Malbec! Intense, almost concentrated as if water had been removed from the wine. Just grand.
