Founded by renowned Californian winemaker Paul Hobbs, Viña Cobos helped establish a new benchmark for high-end Argentine Malbec through its focus on low-yield vineyards and meticulous site selection. The winery sources fruit from elevated vineyard sites across Mendoza, where intense Andean sunlight, cool nighttime temperatures, and rocky alluvial soils allow Malbec to achieve both richness and freshness. Hobbs’ precise, terroir-driven approach emphasizes structure, purity, and balance, showcasing the dark fruit intensity and mineral tension that have made Mendoza one of the world’s great regions for Malbec.
