Reviews of 2006 Vina Cobos Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard
99 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
December 2008
According to Hobbs, 2006 was one of the great vintages of his 20 year career in Argentina. The near perfect 2006 Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard is my favorite of this remarkable collection. A glass-coating, saturated opaque purple/black in color, the wine offers up a sexy/kinky bouquet of pain grille, Asian spices, pencil lead, mineral, lavender, blueberry, and black cherry. On the palate there is layer upon layer of savory fruit, spice notes, espresso, and chocolate as well as exquisite balance. The wine’s finish lasts for more than a minute. Try a bottle, bury the rest in your cellar for ten years, and then drink them from 2018 to 2040.
About 2006 Vina Cobos Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard
About the Winery Vina Cobos
Vina Cobos is Paul Hobbs’ winery in Mendoza. He is better known (at
least for the moment) to USA connoisseur/collectors for his namesake
winery in Napa Valley which has received many accolades (including
100-point scores from Robert Parker) for its Cabernets, Pinot Noirs,
and Chardonnays. What is less well known is that Hobbs is a pioneer in
fine wine production in Argentina, having started there in 1988 with
Nicolas Catena. Senor Catena gives Hobbs much credit for the success of
Catena-Zapata’s Chardonnay program. He has since extended his
consulting efforts both in Argentina and Chile but the capstone of
Hobbs’ work is Vina Cobos which began in 1998 and moved into its own
winery facility in 2007.
