Tasting Notes

WA96

The 2002 Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard was picked the morning after a heavy rain flooded the vineyard but it was nonetheless a great growing season. The wine is a glass-coating purple in color, thick and rich in appearance. The aromatic array includes smoke, mineral, violets, plums, blackberry, and black cherry along with a slight baked character that was also present in a second bottle. On the palate the wine exudes power in its layered, opulent personality. Attractive spice notes emerge along with hints of espresso and chocolate. The lengthy finish is loaded with fruit and the wine’s superb balance suggests at least a decade of further evolution and a drinking window that should remain open through 2035.

WS95

This shows awesome purity, with lush, seamless layers of raspberry, blackberry and fig compote finely stitched with notes of plum sauce, mocha, graphite and violets. Velvety texture and fresh acidity let the decadent finish display exotic combinations of flavors. A memory-staining wine. Drink now through 2009. 726 cases made.
