About Viña Cobos

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.

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, these prestigious wines have been recognized around the globe by critics and consumers alike.

Growing Season

The 2018 Vintage was characterized by excellent climactic conditions throughout the growing season.  Temperatures within the historical averages, minimal rainfall, and a larger thermal amplitude compared to previous years resulted in a characteristic growing season for Mendoza.  The excellent health of the vineyard allowed for a harvest of high quality fruit with good color and concentration.  

Aging & Bottling

Aged for 18 months in new French oak Taransaud barrels (63%) in combination with second oak (47%).  Bottled in November 2019.  Unifined and unfiltered.  

Tasting Notes

Deep vviolet red with black notes.  In nose, it is complex, combining black fruit, spices and graphite.  With highlights of blue fruits and Andean herbs such as jarilla and wild thyme.  In the mouth  it presents an elegant entrance, with tannins, velvety and a long finish.
