Cracked the neck whilst reorganising my cellar so was forced to snap it off and decant before it spilled all over the floor...
A spectacular wine:-) I love these Cockburn bottlings - phenomenally robust corks that just keep the wine alive indefinitely. This was a lovely dense brick colour with a nose of cedar, lavender, hints of tobacco, sour blackberries, and mulch. Lovely balance with an edge of fine acidity and a hint of tannin at the end. Great stuff! — 8 years ago

Really nice Nebbiolo from WA. Really good with a Pork Bolognese for dinner. Really brought out the spiciness. — 7 years ago
This was a bargain buy from a discount supermarket but comparing tonight against a Cockburn special reserve this has a much broader smooth flavour of ripe berries. Ideal with cheese but would potentially accompany rich desserts. Perhaps lay a bottle away for Christmas pud — 8 years ago
2012 Zerba Cellars Reserve #CabernetSauvignon (Cockburn Vineyard). California vintners will cry when they taste the depth that this Walla Walla winery brings to the Cab game. Holy cow. Beautiful deep color, notes of tobacco, vanilla, blackcurrant, lil bit o black pepper. Delicious. Great birthday wine. Rich and complex. — 10 years ago
Smells like a Cockburn, or maybe it’s that nuttiness of a bone-dry Sherry. Nuts and gym socks sitting in rubber. Does not disappoint, coming through in the end with a sharp zing of energy and a finish that lasts to infinity; like a Sherry would. Really good. — 7 years ago
Wine tasting with Lynn in Walla Walla. Yum. — 8 years ago
Nice rich red fruit, heady notes of cherry pie and earth grace the mid-back palette. Very yum! — 9 years ago
Dark Chocolate before opens this up a lot. Seems like it's going be really at first and then it surprising mellows out. — 10 years ago

dark clear color, cinnamon, red hots, good fruit, not as pretty as 1955 Cockburn, a little heat on finish. — 6 years ago
