Cocodrilo Red Blend
Viña Cobos · Mendoza, Argentina
About this wine
Viña Cobos is the acclaimed Argentine venture of international flying winemaker Paul Hobbs, celebrated for producing benchmark Mendoza reds. The 'Cocodrilo' Red Blend marries Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Merlot into a lush, full-bodied wine. Lifted by high acidity and carrying a powerful 14.5% ABV, it exhibits deep concentration and a finely tuned structural balance. This rich, modern South American wine is an excellent dinner companion, pairing harmoniously with roasted beef, lamb, game meat, and savory poultry.
