Clos De Los Siete 2010
Clos De Los Siete 2010 is a red wine from the Uco Valley in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Launched by the renowned French oenologist Michel Rolland, the project is a unique collaboration involving several Bordeaux winemaking families who manage independent estates within a single 850-hectare block at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes a 'Bordeaux-style' approach, utilizing high altitude, well-drained pebbly soils, and gravity-fed facilities to produce a single emblematic blend that captures the potential of the Argentine terroir.
Wine Description
This vintage presents an intense and deep dark red appearance with purplish glints. The nose is characterized by a complex aromatic profile of ripe black fruits and spices, specifically featuring notes of dark plum, blackberry, and violet, alongside hints of vanilla, cedar, and roasted meat. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated with a soft attack, showing abundant rounded character and a dense, muscular structure. Stylistically, it is lauded for its balance between rich, dark fruit and a well-integrated freshness, culminating in a long, silky, and elegant finish. The varietal composition is a blend of 53% Malbec, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 11% Syrah, and 1% Petit Verdot. While initially projected for consumption through 2015, high-quality storage may allow for continued enjoyment of its evolved character.
