Region: Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina

Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes: Earthy berry aromas are deep and solid enough to be convincing. A plump palate with drying tannins features quality spiced berry and plum flavors that should seem familiar to most Cabernet drinkers. This is fleshy in feel and spicy on the finish.

Producer: Founded by renowned winemaker Paul Hobbs, Viña Cobos has been at the forefront of Mendoza’s viticulture since 1999, when its inaugural Cobos Malbec made waves internationally. Hobbs, who began exploring Mendoza’s terroirs in 1988, sought out the finest regions of Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco to craft wines that truly express the character of their origins. Viña Cobos’ commitment to sustainable farming, combined with meticulous winemaking, results in wines that are both elegant and complex. The Bramare Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a prime example of this vision, showcasing the depth and potential of Argentine terroir beyond Malbec.

Vineyard & Winemaking: Sustainability is at the heart of Viña Cobos’ vineyards, where consistent, healthy yields are achieved through careful attention to the land. In the winery, precision reigns—grapes are treated with great care, and winemaking techniques are fine-tuned to preserve the subtleties of the fruit. The Bramare Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is crafted from handpicked grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, benefitting from the region’s unique climate and soil diversity. This focus on terroir and balance, along with Paul Hobbs’ expertise, has solidified Viña Cobos’ reputation as a leader in producing world-class Argentine wines.
