Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A deep garnet, dark and elegant, awakens the senses to a complex and exquisite wine. The nose is met by appealing aromas of spices: clove and white pepper as well as red fruits: cassis, sour cherries and pomegranate, all accented by graphite and delicate hints of wood smoke. Explosive blackberry, black cherry, licorice, eucalyptus and spices on the palate. An intense, expressive wine with notable persistence.

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 10% Malbec

Professional Ratings

  • 95
    An amazing red wine that could become a New World standard and surpass what is done in the Old World, Napa vintners and Bordelais vignerons should pay attention to the beautifully defined 2012 Cocordrilo Viña Cobos Corte from Mendoza. Deep ruby, black color; black fruit and tar in the nose, lots of great stuff here; ripe red fruit, alluring, serious an fine, shows lots of nuances; medium bodied, rich and expansive on the palate; dry, excellent acidity, well balanced; bright, red fruit and mineral flavors; long finish, lively aftertaste.

Vina Cobos The Winery in Mendoza Winery Image

Viña Cobos makes wines that are authentic expressions of the terroir from which they come. Paul Hobbs, founding partner and winemaker at Viña Cobos, has worked since 1988 in the exploration of the different terroirs of Mendoza, looking for the most distinguished regions in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, to produce wines that uniquely express their origins.

Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery, careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance.

With the inaugural vintage of Cobos Malbec in 1999, Viña Cobos marked a milestone in viticulture, defying existing standards and firmly positioned Malbec and Argentina on the international wine scene. Since then, our prestigious wines have been recognized around the globe by critics and consumers alike.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
