Great wines are born in the vineyard, by limiting the vines yield with the objective of concentrating to the maximum their typical smells, structure and complexity. Because of this, they choose producing their wines through natural processes, not too invasive, taking care that in each stage of its development they receive a kind treatment. They look for and foment fermentation through indigenous yeasts. They are not in favor of fining or filtering our wines to maintain their complexity
About WineAt the moment I'm absolutely in love with Malbecs, which are some of the best-value red wines in the world right now. Malbec is originally a French grape, but besides Cahors in France, it's primarily grown in Argentina, which catapulted the wine to fame in the last few years. Malbec is like a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, with the rich, juicy fruits of Zin and the complex herbs, spices, and meaty flavors of Cab. You can get top-notch Malbec for less than half the price of a Napa Cabernet, and the Vina Cobos is one to look especially closely at--the winery is founded by Paul Hobbs of Napa fame, who has actually made some wines rated 100 points by Robert Parker.

Tasting Notes(2006 vintage) From Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate, 12/28/07 92 points.’… It is opaque purple in color with a complex nose of spice box, mulberry, and black cherry. This leads to a smoothly-textured, full-bodied wine with layers of plum and black raspberry flavor, good structure, and excellent length. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 6 years. It is a sensational value in high quality Malbec.’
