Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2012

Bright ruby-red. Ripe but not overripe aromas of blackberry, espresso and licorice. At once dense and suave, with surprisingly verve and shape to the rich flavors of dark berries and chocolate. Fine-grained, concentrated, cleanly made malbec, finishing with smooth tannins and persistent flavors of blackberry, black cherry and menthol. A very good showing this year for these Felino wines.

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. Importer: Paul Hobbs Imports, Sebastopol, CA; tel. (707) 824-9879
