Vińa Cobos is international winemaker Paul Hobbs’ Argentina winemaking project. His Bramare label is focused on making wines in the styles that initially captured his interest in Argentina. The wine is deep and silky. Each sip draws you into a powerful mix of flavors ranging from cocoa and vanilla to bramble and black cherry. The depth of fruit is excellent and is complemented by a balanced use of oak. Together, the tannins and acidity are nicely balanced. For those that seek the power of younger wines, I wouldn’t wait — this wine is delicious today.
