Paul Hobbs, founding partner and winemaker at Viña Cobos, has been exploring Mendoza's diverse terroirs since 1988, focusing on the most exceptional regions in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco to create wines that distinctly express their origins.
By employing sustainable farming practices, the vineyard consistently produces healthy, high-quality fruit. In the winery, the grapes are handled with care, and meticulous winemaking techniques are applied to create wines of complexity, elegance, and balance.
The inaugural vintage of Cobos Malbec in 1999 was a landmark in viticulture, challenging existing standards and establishing both Malbec and Argentina on the global wine stage.
What the critics say:
"Absolutely packed with black fruit and enticing spices, the wine shows great intensity, depth and length. Layers of blue and black fruit, graphite, cocoa, spearmint and cassis all blend together for a sensory feast. A portion of the grapes was whole-cluster fermented before aging 18 months in 55% new French oak barrels. The Cobos is made from selected lots of grapes from different vineyards, mostly coming from Chanares and Hobbs Estate, but with a small portion of fruit from Zingaretti. A great wine to drink or hold. Best from 2030."
