Vina Cobos, Cabernet Sauvignon Felino, Mendoza

Past peak, dark blueberry fruit turns quickly acidic

2010 vintage

This was good a couple years ago. Not now.

2010 vintage

silky smooth with a little pepper to the finish: blackberry, cassis, chocolate, mocha, blueberry skin - love these Cobos wines, especially with enough age.

2007 vintage

yes - full body, interesting, good for $13

2010 vintage

Excellent, silky, soft tannins, definitely recommend.

2010 vintage

a great new world wine with a lot of power and fruit, silky Tannins, drink now

2010 vintage

For my wife and me, high alcohol (14.5%) dominates all other aromas and flavors. Berries and sweetness make it through.

2010 vintage

Черная черешня, вишневый джем, сигарный ящик, оттенки копченостей. Вкус очень полный, молочно-округлый, полностью сбалансированный с длительным сладковато-танинным послевкусием. Очень хорошо! 15,5/20

2010 vintage

Dark cherry on the nose with an oaky blackberry taste. Almost no tannins and a short finish. Went a little flat on second day

2010 vintage

Tasted much smoother a couple days after opening

2010 vintage

Thin, nothing special, short finish

2010 vintage

Gift from Dr Phil Vana. Accompanied churrasco, very decent cab, well balanced typical profile of eucaliptus, blackberries.

2007 vintage

I opened this at the end of the night because my wife wanted one more glass of "red," vacuum sealed the rest, and forgot about it for 5 days. Tasted tonight before throwing it out, and was pleasantly surprised. Very smooth, rich flavors of cherry and blueberry mingle with dried herbs. Little heat on the thin finish. Very easy to drink.

2007 vintage

Tasted so good when sampled this before purchase...now just average.

2007 vintage

- Brick color with fast forming legs and aromas of cedar and tobacco. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of blackberry, smokey, oak and bacon with a medium/full body. Flabby texture with a short finish - All graphite nose. Short finish. Opened and decanted 45 minutes before consuming.

2007 vintage

After venturied and left to sit for an hour I was a little taken aback by a distinct vegetal assault on the nose but that worry was quickly changed by beautifu layers of blackberry and spices for the palate. When the bottle was reopened from it's over night vac-seal it was simply delicious.

2007 vintage

14,2 %. Good smell.

2007 vintage

No complaints and very high QPR. Would be very hard pressed to do better for a cab at $20. Currants, blackberry and spice on the nose. Rich and dense taste. Well balanced and long finish. Between the Malbecs and Cabs from Vina Cobos, Paul Hobbs has done well in Argentina.

2007 vintage

Best vintage of this to date, great new world value and pedigree.

2007 vintage

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry, black currant and licorice anise. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of black currant and blackberry with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish.

2007 vintage

We found this wine to be vegetal like the crisper drawer in the fridge with old greens and bell pepper. We drank this after a really great Zaca Mesa Syrah and this was a let down.

2007 vintage

I've had many of this before,but this one had so much heat that I thought the bottle could be flawed.On day 5(!!) it lost some of the alcohol,but It was still there....I'm not going to buy this anymore..

2007 vintage

This wine was not decated much but it opened up after only 30 minutes. Nose: Closed but opened up after only 30 minutes and improved radically after an hour. Great dark fruit scents complemented by a dusty, toasted oak with shades of chocolate. At least that is what I get. Taste. Smooth,round, balalanced, with low acidity and an awesome fruit character. This wine has really smoothened quite a bit since I tried it a couple years ago. A very easy …

2007 vintage

Very nice wine, wouldn't hesitate to buy again today

2007 vintage

Currants and blackberry fruit. Chocolate and vanilla undertones, some soy or cooked meat. Really nice mouth texture. Good purple color. Not much finish or complexity. Still, it's a pretty good wine for the price and will appeal to a broad range of guests. Serve the next one at a party.

2007 vintage

Very solid.

2007 vintage

Synygy Wine Tasting Club - South America (Turbine Hall, Chester PA) : nice. very deep raspberry fruit, with black pepper and raw meat. med(-) finish has some heat.

2007 vintage

no formal notes

2007 vintage

Nose of Cherries, rubber, baking spices and grape jelly. Grape jelly caries over into the palate with fine even tannins and cabernet characteristics.

2007 vintage

Overpowering and simple. Lots of chocolate on the nose. The viscosity of a 40 weight motor oil.

2007 vintage

Nose of dark currant and briar. Blackberry with hints of chocolate and vanilla. Medium finish. Decanted for approximately 2 hours. Mellowed considerably between hour one and two. This is a must buy for the price.

2007 vintage

Solid QPR. One of my top go to value wines that drinks like its twice the price ($20). Color: Claret like red core to ruby edges Nose: Sweet currants and cherry, some mocha and spice Palate: Ripe black cherry and blackberry mix with chocolate, cigar wrapper spice, some licorice and cassis - great complexity at this price. Medium to full bodied, clean and full finish of fruit, spice and oak.

2007 vintage

short palette, indistinct fruit, undistinguished

2007 vintage

Tart, drier, medium-bodied, good fruit. Has some personality, but a little flawed.

2007 vintage

Best value of a cab i've found in years. This stuff tastes like a $35 cab and it's only $17 & my local wine store has it all the time. the 2008's just came in and is just as good.

2007 vintage

Are you sure?
