Cobos Bramare Malbec Marchiori Vineyard 2012

Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is a Paul Hobbs/Marchiori family collaboration in Perdriel. The terroir is clay over sandy loam that gives way to gravel and stone. In fact the soils are alluvial and low in organic material but very well drained. The result is bigger sweeter tannins with plenty of flavour. More Napa in style it tends to jump the terroir and rely more on its dense sweet tannins, floral, black berry, tobacco aromas and intense black cherry and blueberry fruit with flecks of orange zest and violets. There’s just enough minerality and acidity to keep it all interesting. Steak is a must.Tasted: 24 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
