Paul Hobbs, the acclaimed California winemaker who first landed in Argentina in 1988, founded Viña Cobos to prove Malbec could speak of place rather than just deliver easy, fruit-forward drinking. Sourced from vineyards across San Carlos, Tunuyán, and Tupungato at 3,100 to 4,850 feet elevation, on stony, limestone-flecked soils with very low organic matter, a terroir that gives this bottling more tension and mineral drive than its sister wine from Luján de Cuyo. Hand-harvested with shears and manually sorted berry by berry, fermented in stainless steel with spontaneous malolactic fermentation, then aged 18 months in French oak, 20% new, and bottled unfined. Expect a deep purple color with a complex nose of red fruit and violets, layered with baking spice, moving into a structured, mineral-driven palate that reflects the high-altitude Uco Valley site. A serious, terroir-focused Malbec from one of Argentina's most respected international winemakers.

"The 2023 Malbec Bramare Uco Valley opens with aromas of black fruitand delicate cedar, layered with liqueur-like and candied tones. The palate shows the high energy typical of 2023, with juicy flow and plush texture. The oak plays a supporting role on the finish. This is still youthful but packed with potential.
