VINA COBOS FELINO CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Tasting notes:

Deep ruby red. On the nose, aromas of forest fruits are complemented by spicy notes. The flavours on the palate are round and concentrated, supported by firm tannins that indicate maturity and balance.

About the wine:

From vineyards in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo at an altitude between 2,306 and 3,927 feet elevation, a semi-desert climate.

Fermented with selected and native yeasts in 8- and 17- ton closed-top stainless steel tanks. Aged in French and American oak barrels (10% new) for 9 months.

About the producer:

In 1989, Paul Hobbs visited Mendoza for the first time. Driving over the Andes from Chile with his longstanding friend Jorge Catena, brother of the famous Nicolas Catena, he fell in love, not only with the place and people, but also the potential to make great wine. He began to work with the Catenas, firstly experimenting with wild ferments for Chardonnay and then with the variety that would become Argentina's calling card - Malbec.

His first 10 barrels vintage of Malbec persuaded not only the Catenas, but also the American press of the potential with this grape. Paul established his own winery, Vina Cobos, in 1998 and, over 30 years later, Paul continues to push viticultural and winemaking boundaries to the max. Concentrating on the Valle de Uco, widely regarded as the highest quality region, Paul is the driving force for some of the most impressive wines in the country.
