Blackberries, blueberries, crushed violets, hot stones and dried herbs. Full-bodied with structured tannins, great acidity drive and a medium-chewy finish. A wine that really grows on you, as it exudes charm and finesse. Drink in 2022.

Even in a tough vintage like 2016, Clos de los Siete comes through. The nose is bright and popping, with berry and cassis notes. On the palate, this Malbec blend is tight and focused, with nothing out of place. Juicy plum and berry flavors are slightly spicy in front of a firm finish.

Dark ruby-red. Alluring scents of blackberry, cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate and espresso. Suave, fine-grained and flavorful, with its sweet/savory dark fruit and spice flavors complemented by a chocolate note and nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Finishes with dusty tannins and noteworthy echoing length. This is a very good, fresh vintage for this bottling, which is an excellent value year in and year out.
