Country: Argentina / Volturno Marchiori Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza Province
Winery: Viña Cobos / Perdriel
This immense Cabernet contains 3% Malbec, and it’s about as ripe and raisiny as a wine can get while still holding onto a semblance of balance. Aromas of raisin and baked blackberry blend with rooty cola and vanilla notes. This feels heavy to the point of syrupy, while flavors of prune, mocha and blueberry finish chunky, with low acidity. Drink through 2019.
