2017 Clos de Los Siete Red Blend Valle de Uco Argentina

JS95 A very refined, creamy wine, showing blackberries and blueberries with chocolate and light hazelnut notes. Medium to full body. The fine tannins are polished and creamy and the beautiful, reserved finish goes on for a really long time. Wow! Best ever, because of its length and beauty. One for the palate or the cellar. Drink or hold.
DEC94 Assertive and confident wine displaying blueberries, blackberries, wet earth and chocolate. Ripe, round and juicy with a lovely savoury finish.

Winemaker Notes: Clos de Los Siete 2017 is deep red in appearance shot through with purple glints characteristic of Malbec. On the nose, its intense and complex aromatic expression delivers subtle notes of fruit and spice. On the palate, the delicate tannins are ripe and silky, and combine with appealing freshness. Well-balanced in structure, full-bodied and offering typical freshness, the wine showcases the charming, elegant style ever present in Clos de Los Siete.
Blend: 52% Malbec, 21% Merlot, 15% Syrah, 7% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Clos de los Siete is the passion project of world famous Bordeaux winemaker, Michel Rolland. He first visited Argentina in 1988 and immediately recognized the opportunity for making world-class Bordeaux style wines there. Michel partnered with 7 other Bordeaux families to develop 2,000 acres of vineyard in the Uco Valley south of Mendoza. Each partner family gives a portion of their harvest to this one single SKU, Clos (Vineyard) de los (of the) Siete (Seven).

Clos de los Siete is the ultimate blend crafted by world renowned Master Blender, Michel Rolland. Michel discovered a special plot of land in Argentina, located at the foot of the Andes Mountains in the Uco Valley. With six other friends, Michel created the vineyard of 7, Clos de los Siete. Intrigued by its unique combination of high altitude, well drained soils, optimal aspect and dry climate, Michel was certain this land would be optimal for growing a variety of Bordeaux grapes, particularly Malbec.  
Having worked with over 150 wineries across 13 countries, Michel is now the most famous consulting winemaker in the world. Today, we celebrate 20 years of Michel having founded Clos de los Siete and planting his first vines in the Uco Valley.
