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 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…

Hot and fiery at first, but then it tames itself while revealing jammy blackberry and roasted plum aromas.

Similar in style to the higher-priced Cobos wine from the same vineyard. Bramare delivers cassis, plum and berry aromas rolled into a pleasant and familiar whole.

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.

Viña Cobos 1999 Bramare Malbec (Mendoza)
- $37
The little brother to Cobos; this wine is filled with tobacco, cedar and milk chocolate aromas and all the plum, berry, coffee and licorice flavors one might expect from excellent Malbec. The finish is tight but smooth, with a fine underlay of vanilla oak. This wine has perfect balance; it’s properly acidic yet rich, with freshness and weight but no syrupy qualities.

Viña Cobos 2010 Bramare Marchiori Vineyard Chardonnay (Perdriel)

A big, warm style of Chard. The nose is soft, toasty and loaded with butter, baked apple and vanilla aromas. Feels full, round and creamy, while oak sits at the forefront of the flavor profile, with toast, apple and vanilla lurking behind. Finishes sweet and smooth. 400 cases made.
