WINE DESCRIPTION

Viña Cobos Felino Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and complex red wine from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. It is a blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe red fruit and blackberry, along with notes of chocolate, espresso, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lush, with firm yet supple tannins, and a long, elegant finish. This is a wine that will reward extended cellaring, but can also be enjoyed now with a few years of bottle age.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Viña Cobos Felino Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark, ruby-colored wine with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco.On the palate, it offers a full-bodied structure with ripe tannins, good acidity, and flavors of dark fruit, herbs, and spices.

ORIGINS

Winery: Viña Cobos

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
