Vina Cobos Cocodrilo Corte 2012
The Cocodrilo is wonderfully opaque purple-colored with an aromatic array of exotic spices. This magnificent wine boasts abundant quantities of currant, black cherry, blackberry, cedar, and subtle smoky oak and cocoa notes. Featuring tons of concentrated black fruits, stunning purity and length, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this Cabernet will continue to impress for the next 3-4 years.
Vina Cobos Winery
"Paul Hobbs visited Argentina in 1989 and he became immediately interested in both the terroir and Argentine culture, noticing the unique potential for Malbec and other varietals in the region. In 1997 Andrea and Luis met Paul in California and they decided to found Viña Cobos. Since then, Paul and his Argentine partners have grown their portfolio of ultra-premium wines to include Cobos Nico, Bramare, and Felino which continue to receive even greater accolades."
