點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1102

A Bordeaux-style blend made from 50% Cab Sauv, 30% Merlot and 20% Cab Franc and aged in new French oak for 24 months, this ripe and lush wine is ready for drinking now with easygoing black cherry and blackberry fruit aromas and flavors laced with notes of pepper, licorice root, tobacco leaf and soft leather. The creamy mouthfeel is given structure with medium tannins and balanced acidity.——L.B.(3/1/2012)—— 90

A taut but expressive nose of minerals, pepper and red fruit lead this lovely wine from Stellensbosch. The velvety, mouthfilling flavors of slightly sweet berry and spice are luxuriant, and the finish is long. Soft and refined but memorable. A beautiful wine with ageable appeal.——S.K.(9/1/2008)—— 90

A classic Bordeaux blend, featuring 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It is packed with great cassis flavors that mesh well with the coffee and mocha flavors, dry tannins and hints of spice from 24 months in new wood. The hill in the name recognizes hillside vineyards, Cobblers recognizes that ancestors of the owning Jordan family were in the shoe business. ——R.V.(11/1/2006)—— 91
