77 - Viña Cobos Cocodrilo Corte - Mendoza, Argentina

Grape Varietals: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot

Wine Description: Crafted in Mendoza by renowned winemaker Paul Hobbs, Cocodrilo Corte is a Bordeaux-inspired blend that reflects the high-altitude vineyards of the Andes foothills. Warm days and cool nights allow for full ripening while preserving structure and freshness. The wine is aged in French oak, bringing polish and integration to its bold fruit profile while maintaining balance and approachability.

Tasting Notes: The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with hints of graphite and spice. On the palate, rich dark fruit mingles with cocoa and subtle cedar. Fine tannins provide structure without heaviness, leading to a smooth, persistent finish with freshness and lift.

Suggested Food Pairings: Pair with grilled steaks, lamb chops, hearty stews or aged cheeses.

Serving & Cellaring:
