Viña Cobos
Bramare Valle de Uco Malbec
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
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.
$42 Draeger's
