Malbec

Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry

A plush, fruit-forward Malbec from Luján de Cuyo, showing ripe blackberry and plum alongside lifted violet florals and a mocha-tinged finish from careful oak aging. Viña Cobos is a well-regarded Mendoza producer known for structured yet approachable reds, and this wine sits true to that house style — generous fruit with enough grip to reward a good meal. Tannins are present but polished, making it easy to enjoy now while retaining enough structure to develop further.
