Introducing The Wines of Hubert Weber

Swish this deep garnet-red wine in a glass, and the pungent aromas of rose and hibiscus will reach you even from a foot away. Come closer and you’ll feel the hint of funk as well. This is a far cry from the cheap Californian merlots of the 1990s and the rustic Patagonian merlots that used to sell for a few bucks a bottle. The flavors are light at first, with a restrained mix of red berries and citrus notes, but rich prune arrives with some airing – and the finish is long enough to merit more contemplation.

An edge tinted brick red and a whiff of funk are more often the hallmarks of an old Bordeaux than a Mendoza cabernet, yet this one would hold its own with a St. Julien any time. In true Old World style, the flavor tends more towards red berries than jammy dark fruit, and there’s only a tiny touch of sweetness. The tannins offer plenty of structure, and the finish is long but clean, with an unusual final note of green apple.

Light funk mixes with classic malbec ink and a wash of plum in the bouquet, paving the way for a very distinct kind of malbec: bright and sweet like hard candies, coating the mouth easily, and with a clean finish. All in all, more reminiscent of Patagonian malbecs than many others from Mendoza, and conspicuously well crafted.

A wine of contrasts, with an intensely perfumed nose of vanilla and spices, then somewhat austere, almost citrus-like flavor backed by strong tannins. Needs a bit of time to breathe, then offers an intriguing alternative to the typical cabernet experience.

Hubert Weber brings out some unusual and wonderful flavors in this brick-red, Old World, Argentine blend, from the mix of plum, orange blossom, and bamboo in the bouquet to the water chestnut mingling with gooseberry and stone fruit in the mouth. A finely structured wine that is not overpowering – worth savoring!
