Taste profile

Type

Red Wine

On the palate

An exquisitely balanced cabernet sauvignon to be highlighted. Its spicy and fruity character outstands. The intense ruby red color anticipates a complex, appealing wine. On the nose, the freshness of the red fruit and the herbal notes like freshly cut grass complements the spicy notes of black pepper, clove and cinnamon, as well as cedar and tobacco. Great freshness on the palate, good acidity, sweet tannins and great intensity for a very well-integrated wine with a persistent finish.

The period 2013/14 presented complex weather conditions since the beginning of the season. Spring began with very low temperatures and snowfalls in the plains. Late frost affected the yield of varieties like chardonnay and malbec. A heatwave in January and rains in February were highlighted as climate anomalies; in both cases, they were above average. The months of February, March and April had a cool climate, with record temperature below the historical average, which allowed a homogeneous maturity of oenological parameters.

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. Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance.
