Producer Clos de Los Siete


Bordeaux-based oenologist Michel Rolland, who consults for wineries in 13 countries, has made Clos de los Siete his Argentina project. No shy wallflower here, it opens up with all barrels blazing out an array of flavors, amongst which you'll find ripe blackberry and plum fruit, black pepper and other spices as well as oaky injection of vanilla and smoke. Rich and layered in texture with a finishing touch of tannins to firm-up the finish.

Wine Advocate The 2006 Clos de los Siete is a slightly different blend with 50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah. Opaque purple-colored, it has a similar expressive nose including fragrant plum, blueberry, and black cherry. Ripe, sweet, and seamless, it admirably hides its tannin under all the fruit. It will evolve for several years but who will have the willpower to defer gratification? It is an awesome value. Score: 92. —Jay Miller, December 2007.

Wine Spectator A bit flashy in style, with raspberry and blackberry notes riding over briary tannins. The juicy, brambly finish has some nice grip. Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2008. Score: 87. —James Molesworth, November 30, 2007.
