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 2019 harvest was marked by two decisive factors: the great thermal Amplitude and the low rainfall.  The first, allowed to reach an optimum concentration of the grape, fineness in the grain of the tannins, good acidity and moderate potential alcohols.  On the other hand, the second guaranteed ideal health conditions throughout the harvest period.  This combination made it possible to obtain bunches of excellent quality.  

Fermentation and Bottling

Fermented with selected and native yeasts in 8- and 17- ton closed-top stainless-steel tanks.  Aged in American oak barrels (10% new) for 8 months.  Bottles in February 2020. Unfined.

Tasting Notes

Bright and deep purple color.  Aromas of black fruit reminiscent of fresh plum mixed with graphite notes.  On the palate the wine is balanced and energetic, with sweet and round tannins and long finish.
