Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Viña Cobos Bramare Luján de Cuyo Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a remarkably focused, deep, and expressive red wine crafted by legendary winemaker Paul Hobbs. Sourced from high-altitude, gravel-rich estate vineyards within the premiere prime zone of Mendoza, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes careful parcel-by-parcel manual harvesting and is aged for 18 months in selected French oak barrels. In the glass, it displays a deep red ruby color with dark violet highlights. The complex and layered aromatic bouquet opens up with vibrant notes of fresh blackcurrants, wild plums, and dark berries, seamlessly intertwined with savory accents of pink peppercorn, roasted red pepper, graphite, and toasted tobacco leaves. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied, showing an engaging structural tension with fine-grained, firm, yet remarkably sweet tannins. A juicy, concentrated core of black fruits is buoyed by a lively, well-integrated natural acidity and a touch of sweet spice, leading to an energetic, impeccably balanced, and long-lasting finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with charcoal-grilled Argentine ribeye steak, peppercorn-crusted roasted rack of lamb, slow-braised wild boar stew, and aged semi-hard cheeses like Gouda.
