Description
This exquisite blend features Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) as its main component, combined with Malbec (20%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). Its color is deep ruby red with darker highlights. On the nose, the aromas are fruity and present notes of spices such as strawberries, cherries, and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is round with fine tannins, elegant roundness, and a long finish.

The 2020 Cobos Volturno blends 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc from old vines planted in Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo. A dark purple wine, the reserved nose reveals currant and cassis marmalade notes along with a subtle ash and cedar layer. Hints of pepper and orange peel join in. Dry, supple and velvety on the palate, the fine-grained, plush tannins lead to a muscular and well-fitted mouthfeel, lasting long with a ripe fruit flavor. This balanced and complex yet fairly concentrated Cabernet from Lujan de Cuyo bears the signatures of a warm vintage.

Deeply floral and spicy upon entry, with loamy accents to the ripe berry and cassis core. This wine’s spice layers gain intensity around lively acidity and linger, adding subtle herb, peppercorn and spiced chocolate notes around polished tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2035. 330 cases made, 30 cases imported.
