Viña Cobos 2010 Bramare Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- Editors' Choice
- $44
This lush, modern Malbec explodes with power then simmers with complexities. Opaque in color, the bouquet issues intense blackberry, lemon peel, graphite and toast aromas. In the mouth, it’s full but not flabby, and then comes an avalanche of black-fruit flavors matched by notes of spice cake, molasses, pepper and mocha. It’s warm, toasty and full of licorice on…

Viña Cobos 2002 Cobos Malbec (Mendoza)
- Editors' Choice
- $60
This ultra extracted, inky Malbec comes from a partnership that includes Paul Hobbs, and while you cannot argue with the wine’s density, purity and power, it probably isn’t for everyone. With 14.8% alcohol, a ton of color and loads of clove-packed oak, it’s giant. Perhaps you wish it less aggressive and more approachable. Or maybe you outright love it, like we did…

Viña Cobos 2007 Marchiori Vineyard Malbec (Mendoza)
- $190
Young, fiery and rugged on the nose, but with exotic notes that suggest Middle Eastern and Asian herbs and spices. Like all Cobos Malbecs, this is big, chewy, brawny and a touch medicinal, with powerful dark fruit flavors, particularly black cherry, and a good deal of licorice, chocolate and overall richness. Handles its 15% alcohol better than many heavyweights;…

Viña Cobos 2009 Bramare Marchiori Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Perdriel)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Fleshy and huge on the nose, this has hints of sweet red pepper, blackberry, dark plum and cola. It’s pure, powerful and dense on the palate, with chewy tannins. The flavors of roasted berry, cassis and chocolate are layered, and the finish is long, sweet and toasty. This is a modern, bullish, full-bodied Cabernet to drink now–2014. 280 cases produced.

Viña Cobos 2009 Cobos Volturno Marchiori Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec (Perdriel)
- Online Exclusive
- $200
This opens with a blast of blueberry, sweet grass and baking spices. On the palate, it feels syrupy and rich, with heavy flavors of caramel, baked berry, vanilla and blackberry jam. Sweet, modern in style and ripe to the max, this has a lush, plush finish of saturated berry and copious oak notes. Only 307 cases were made of this blend of 81% Cabernet and 19% Malbec…

Viña Cobos 1999 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
Could this be Argentina’s best wine right now? If you can find a bottle, give it a shot and decide for yourself. The aromas of mint, eucalyptus, cola and bitter chocolate are intense yet pure. The monstrous palate is overflowing with black cherry, plum and licorice, but it maintains a racy, balanced edge. The oak is heavy but not overwhelming. It’s a wonderful…

Viña Cobos 2009 Cobos Marchiori Vineyard Malbec (Perdriel)
- Online Exclusive
- $175
Hot and fiery at first, but then it tames itself while revealing jammy blackberry and roasted plum aromas. Feels extracted and full, with a mix of baked berry, herb and peppery flavors that run deep and delicious. Spicy and chocolaty on the oaky finish, with smooth tannins, sweetness and oaky length. Drink now through 2014.

Viña Cobos 2009 Felino Malbec (Mendoza)
- $20
Potent Malbec with aromas of leather, bacon, blackberry and smoke. It’s thick and dense, but well balanced, with flavors of blackberry, cola, pepper and nutmeg. More smooth and easy than complex, with a long, creamy, sweet finish that cements the wine’s character. Probably the best Felino Malbec to date, and a good value at 20 bucks.
