Cobblestone on SnoothOctober 2012
Salty breezes twirl Spanish moss and steal perfume from Confederate jasmine ... jasmine hedges that flank a cobblestone alley. Interspersed throughout the hedges are ornate wrought iron gates, coated with layers of shiny black paint, begging views of lavish gardens. A horse-drawn carriage plods by pastel-colored homes and then along the palm-l... Read More

Bigger, bolder, chewier, beefier, than the '04, this wine has immense structure and concentration while retaining, for the most part, a nice balance. Even after extended bottle aging (their reserve is always held for 6 years before release) it still has a bit of a ways to go. After a double decant the tannins were still immediate but were fine...

After giving it time to open up in the glass, you're greeted with a rich dark fruit medley of crushed black cherries and currants. Tannins are definitely there but very ripe and soft. Long finish. Went great with a rib-eye ... Read More

Had in November at meal with pork chops in a mustard cream gravy, with noodles, ... an inaugural offering from Cobblestone out of California but operating in New Zealand. I had no expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The alcohol didn't burn hot but was balanced by the fruit. Relatively good tannins but perhaps not quite enough acid for ve... Read More
