Viña Cobos by Paul Hobbs, Felino Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, Argentina, 2023

Overview of the Wine
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.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Red ruby color with dark tones. Aromas of red pepper, fresh red fruit, incense, white pepper hints. It's medium body, with chewy tannins, textured and balanced, nice finish.

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Another delightful offering from the producer that punches way, way above its price point, this 100% varietal wine is sourced 65% from Lujan de Cuyo and 35% from Valle de Uco. Finding the best parts of each area of Mendoza, the warm and the cool, the lower elevation and higher elevation, it's juicy in supple red fruit and juicy at its core, a tremendously impressive and delicious wine from Paul Hobbs and his team. Drink now through 2034.

92 Points - James Suckling
Lots of rich dark and red fruit with notes of blackcurrants. The well-balanced palate is medium- to full-bodied with sinewy tannins and a generous, rich finish. 7% of the wine is aged in barrel. Grapes are sourced from both Lujan and Valle de Uco.
