Top 100 Wines of 2014: #1 – 2011 Viña Cobos Malbec, Paul Hobbs Explains

Viña Cobos Malbec Perdriel Luján de Cuyo Cobos 2011 was #1 in JamesSuckling.com's Top 100 Wines in 2014. In this video, Viña Cobos' co-propietor and winemaker Paul Hobbs comments on the wine, as well as the 2011 vintage and what makes a great wine is in his opinion.

Paul Hobbs, who also owns Paul Hobbs Winery in California and consults for diverse estates around the world, believes that it is one of the greatest wines he has ever made. The wine combines textural richness with surprising agility as well as purity, representing, in James' words, "the greatness of the wines of Argentina, which offer incredible excitement at every level of wine drinking."

It is a unique and perfect wine that is also testament to Argentina now producing distinctive and balanced wines that are worth every bit of the consumers’ attention. If you want to experience the wine and talk to the winemaker, Viña Cobos will be present at the Great Wines of the Andes event in New York City on November 18.
