Tasting Notes

WA98

The 2008 Cobos Corte u Nico Marchiori Vineyard is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Malbec. Purple/black in color, it surrenders an impressive bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, floral notes, Asian spices, licorice, espresso, and assorted black fruits. Loaded on the palate, this full-bodied behemoth is dense, powerful and complex. Give it 5-7 years to become a bit more civilized and drink it through 2028, perhaps longer.

WS94

This is very broad and muscular, but also sleek and well-integrated, with dense but velvety layers of plum sauce, fig paste and black currant preserves liberally laced with bittersweet cocoa, espresso and loam notes. The long and authoritative finish is completely filled in, without any of the deficiencies of the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Drink now through 2016. 443 cases made.
