Tasting Notes:

Intense and elegant, saturated indigo purple in color with aromas of roses, black plums, violet flower and dulce de leche. The palate is bright and weighty, with notes of tart cherry, blueberry, pie crust and wet-stone minerality. The balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins enhance the lengthy finish.   

About this Wine:

The wines of Viña Cobos are the result of a shared dream inspired by the passion of California winemaker Paul Hobbs and two winemaking partners, Andrea Marchiori and Luis Barraud, who come from a wine producing culture deeply rooted in European tradition. Paul Hobbs first became acquainted with Argentina in 1989, and was immediately intrigued with the Argentinean terroir and culture, sensing a unique potential for malbec and other varietals in the region. The inaugural vintage of Viña Cobos Malbec received the highest score to date for any Argentine wine upon its release in 2002. Since then, Paul and his Argentine partners have grown their portfolio of ultra-premium wines, which continue to receive even greater accolades.   

The Felinos exhibit a great balance of pure, concentrated fruit, lively acidity and smooth tannins. Our Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Chardonnay are vibrant, mouth-filling wines that pair exceptionally well with food.


Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2010 Felino Malbec sports an inviting perfume of cedar, rose petal, spice box, incense, and black cherry. In the glass it opens to reveal a savory, succulent wine with excellent volume and length. This pleasure-bent Malbec is an outstanding value meant for drinking over the next 5-6 years.

Vina Cobos is a partnership between Paul Hobbs, Andrea Marchiori, and Luis Barraud. The new releases are further confirmation that Vina Cobos is one of Argentina’s great producers. The Felino label has for a number of years been synonymous with value.." - Jay Miller (Dec 2011)

92 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine (2009 vintage)
""This selection of malbec comes from several mountain zones in Mendoza between altitudes of 2,300 and 3,800 feet. The blend is lively and delicious, with seductively ripe raspberry flavors that hold their freshness within the creamy texture. An elegant malbec."

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine
(2009 vintage)
"Potent Malbec with aromas of leather, bacon, blackberry and smoke. It’s thick and dense, but well balanced, with flavors of blackberry, cola, pepper and nutmeg. More smooth and easy than complex, with a long, creamy, sweet finish that cements the wine’s character. Probably the best Felino Malbec to date, and a good value at 20 bucks." — M.S.  (12/31/2010)

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2008 vintage):

"Purple color; floral notes, black cherry and blueberry; layered, velvety-textured, over-delivers." - Jay Miller (Dec 2010)
