Clos de los Siete 2018

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Goodness lives inside this bottle from the Uco Valley, one of Argentine’s wine regions within the well-known Mendoza wine region. It is mostly made from Malbec, but this red features five other grape varieties, too. So that’s six in total. And the percentage breakdown isn’t the same every year, so this 2018 will certainly come across my senses differently than the 2019 and so on. PS - the percentage breakdown is at the tail end of this note.

In my glass, there are plenty of pretty scents like ripe dark fruit, pressed flowers, potting soil, and green herbs. All delicate in scale. There’s mouth feel appeal that’s textured, super dry, velvety, and has some grip. And, it tastes comforting and delicious to my senses, headlined by ripe dark berries and cherries plus micro doses of grilled herbs. I like that the finish lingers, extending the beautiful experience that's in my glass.

55% Malbec, 19% Merlot, 12% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc.

A lovely blend, 55% Malbec, 19% Merlot, 12% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Aromas of blackberry, currant and plum, with very subtle notes of graphite and smoke. Full bodied, with soft tannins and bright acidity, rich, ripe berry notes and a touch of minerality and smoky hint on the finish. Enjoy with marinated beef and vegetable kebabs.
