Wine Review: This wine may taste more like California Cab than Argentina, but no matter where it’s from it’s a great buy. Paul Hobbs has taken his operation to Mendoza to make great wines at a more reasonable price and he has really succeeded. The Cocodrilo is full-bodied, dark, filled with big black fruit, and has a lengthy finish. Tasted blind not one of guessed it was from the southern hemisphere but we all had it in our top three! Enjoy - Alex
