Viña Cobos
Bramare Valle de Uco Malbec
Inky inky purple like when I was a kid making grape kool-aid from packets of chemical plus pounds of sugar.
Smells promising- deep fruit, herb that is familiar but having a hard time identifying (maybe mint+sage?) and toasted oak.
Herbacious flavors come through along with cocoa bean and diner coffee. Good acid/tannin balance.
Not amazing, but the most enjoyable of the 3 Malbec I've tried this week.

First Argentinian Malbec that I’ve gotten so close to the source. I appreciated this wine as it changed over time. Not big bold fruit flavors but medium bodied and easy drinking.

Jun 1st, 2023Very nice Malbec, lots of character, smooth on the palate with dialed down oak. Fruit and spice on palate. Cheers.

Aug 11th, 2020One of the best Malbec from the new world by Cobos. This wine is all about fruit with spice box and tar notes. Round and still gentle tannin.
