Vina Cobos Malbec Felino Mendoza 2019
Other Reds | Argentina
There are days as a wine retailer when you think, “This can’t be right.” But then, after running the numbers 15 times on a calculator, you say: “I’ll take all you have.” Such was the case with this stunner of a deal, a delicious, easy, spicy, flavor-filled beauty from Paul Hobbs’ Vina Cobos project in Argentina, a smashing success story that it is. We re-upped as much as possible due to the MASSIVE response last week. What else can we say? GET AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
93 POINTS! We can’t argue with a thing James says about the ‘19 Felino, packed as it is with perfume, incense, crushed berries, flowers, licorice, freshness and unbounded energy. A wildly easy-to-love style and THE perfect house red. Like we said — LAST CALL, load up!
