2023 Vina Cobos (Paul Hobbs) - Malbec Mendoza Felino (750ml)

If you love Paul Hobbs' celebrated California wines, Viña Cobos is his Argentine passion project — and the Felino is your gateway into one of Mendoza's most prestigious estates at an unbeatable price. Rated 93 Points by James Suckling, who praised it as generous, spicy, and fun — packed with aromas of cumin, black pepper, and coriander, with flavors of blackberries, thyme, and violets, balanced and easy to drink now. 

Sourced from vineyards in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo appellations — two of Mendoza's most celebrated growing zones — at high-altitude sites between 2,300 and nearly 4,000 feet of elevation, where the intense Andean sun, cool nights, and dramatic diurnal swings yield Malbec of extraordinary concentration, freshness, and aromatic purity. Deep ruby-purple with violet reflections, the nose bursts with ripe plum, blueberries, fresh roses, and a hint of menthol and spice. On the palate it is concentrated and juicy, medium-bodied with soft, supple tannins, vibrant acidity, and a clean, fruit-forward finish that is utterly irresistible. Hobbs' California-trained precision and respect for terroir is evident in every sip — a wine that overdelivers at every turn
