Paul Hobbs does everyday Argentine Malbec ... every day for five or six years even! This long-lived malbec is reliably full-bodied and fruit-forward with good, lasting flavors. A real crowd pleaser when we put it on the tastings!

"Deep crimson hued and fragrant with ripe raspberry, cocoa and anise, this is a weighty, richly textured malbec. A velvety palate unfolds with black and red fruits in a tight weave, as subtle notes of caramel and graphite add intrigue, complementing the supple tannins over a lengthy finish."

2011 Susana Balbo Malbec 2011 Susana Balbo Malbec
90 WS

A terrific example of Malbec - deep rich color and flavors, a bit tannic, and dark berry fruits, an altogether powerful wine whose flavors really explode with food, especially anything off of the grill, especially if it is steak....did we mention this wine loves red meat?

"Beautiful deep violet color with exploding aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and violets framed by hints of oak and mint. The wonderful aromas are mirrored on the palate, and they are joined by ripe plum fruit and a hint of toasty vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, and a hint of mint on the finish. This is a ripe and rich style of wine, reigning in the fruit and focusing it into a long finish. A wine that truly struggles between its fun and serious side. Pairs well with a wide range of foods from beef and pork to game birds or even meat-based pastas. This is what Malbec is all about."

Loads of dark berry fruit and dark, dark chocolate with a touch of spicy oak. Needs air to appreciate subtler flavors. Definitely a meat eater's wine.

2010 Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Malbec 2010 Vina Cobos Bramare Lujan de Cuyo Malbec
90 WA

Dark, luscious, and smooth without any heaviness. Really rather elegant and well-balanced. Certainly pairs well with red meats and will also play nicely with roasted pork or chicken and other fowl.

"Dark as night with indigo reflections, this powerful, dense malbec offers aromas of blackberries, black cherries and a savory touch reminiscent of soy sauce. Seamless from entry to finish, it is weighty on the palate, woven with rich, velvety tannins and notes of black fruits, red licorice, mocha and a hint of creme brulee over a perfectly integrated oak background."

2010 Tikal Amorio Malbec 2010 Tikal Amorio Malbec
91 WA; 90 ST

Delicious flavors of dark red fruits, fragrant wood, and a little smoke and spice. If you know a Malbec doubter, share this one and watch the lights go on.

"Aromas of smoky oak and cherry. Mouthwatering, penetrating flavors of ripe red and black cherries, red berries. Quite rich and velvety on the palate, and finishes with just enough grip to make it a real winner with food. This is some seriously sexy Malbec. Pairs well with grilled or smoked meats such as beef, pork, and lamb. Also complements dishes prepared with cheese or cream sauces."

2010 Riglos Gran Malbec 2010 Riglos Gran Malbec
 
As with many wines with which Paul Hobbs is involved, the Gran Malbec shows intense fruit, currants we think, and dark chocolate. It has power and balance to age well. As with the Bramare wines from the Marchiori vineyard, this wine is beautiful now and just a tad overpowering for we shy, retiring types, but with huge future promise.

"This highly colored, velvet purple wine is a classic expression of Malbec, showing plum, currant and wild cherry aromas wrapped in nuances of chocolate and background notes of oak. On the palate, red berry and dark stone fruit impressions dominate, set in a texture of silky, supple tannins and sweet, luscious fruit lifted by a fine, measured acidity. The finish is long and succulent, ending on a ripe, plush note that invites another glass. Paul Hobbs, with 20 years of experience working in Argentina, is the winemaking consultant at Riglos."

"The nose is ripe and full, reminiscent of dark cherries, plums, and chocolate."

"The 2010 Malbec is a striking deep brilliant purple color. The nose is ripe and full, reminiscent of dark cherries, plums, and chocolate with undertones of loam and earth. In the mouth, the wine displays a profound core of ripe, blackberry jam fruit, lengthening into a sophisticated weighty finish coupled with an elegant silkiness. This is a rich, extracted Malbec, atypical of most Malbecs from Argentina."
