Natalie's Score: 90/100

This Argentine red wine is rich, inviting and layered, like great conversation. Redolent of blackberry and plum with some dark spice on the finish. A prime candidate for grilled steaks, or roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary. finishes with mocha and dark chocolate from generous oak aging.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: barbecued steaks, roast leg of lamb.

Reviews and Ratings

Marco Giovanetti rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

On the nose, leafy red fruit with cedar notes. In the mouth, full body. Earthy with lots of mountain leaves character and earth character. Tannins are bit of a bramble right know. Gutsy finale
Geoffrey Lindsay reviewed this wine as follows:

Vina Cabos is Californian Paul Hobbs winery in Argentina. The wine has beautiful Cabernet colour the second you pour it, dense purple red center and is reminiscent of the best of Napa. The fullness of the nose hits you first, the alcohol is present but unobtrusive… the wine speaks of sunshine. Bright and focused, red berries fully ripe with a whiff of star anise. The nose plays over on the palette, there’s no hole in the middle of this Cabernet. This is a full body, full throttle wine. Acidity is there but in balance with the sweetness of the berries and silky smooth tannins. There is slight but welcoming bitterness on the long finish with a replay of all the flavours that came before. This Cab leaves the mouth salivating and looking for more, a wine to be enjoyed with friends and family. Paired with BBQ pork ribs with homemade orange, ginger and soya BBQ sauce and bacon roasted brussel sprouts… a wine for summer.
Paul Hobbs is one of three partners in this Argentine winery. Grippy tannins and black fruit. - Community Wine Reviews
