Mendoza, ArgentinaRipe, round and suave, this Mendoza malbec is a joint project by Viña Cobos and Paul Hobbs, from grapes sourced in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo appellations. Aromas of dried cassis, black cherry, twine, cola and leather carry through to palate, where fine, supple tannins support the sun-ripened fruit. Espresso and bitter black cherry rules the finish, where a warming frame of oak is most apparent. Solid and warm entry malbec, and one well suited to BBQ.Tasted: 29 September 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Mendoza, ArgentinaThis wine is mostly dialed in these days and the price remains relatively constant. Made by American winemaker/partner Paul Hobbs with Argentine partners Andrea Marchiori and Luis Bernard it remains a high quality, entry level Malbec. It’s always been generous but the oak is better handled to let the spice and pure, ripe, malbec fruit show through. If you like black cherries and licorice this is it. Prepare your steak and a classic chimichurri sauce and you are all set.Tasted: 06 August 2015Tasted by: Prices:
