94 Points James Suckling
A fresh and linear red with blackberries, blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, very polished and refined on the palate with a lively finish. Linear at the end. This has more cabernet franc than normal. Malbec, merlot, syrah, cabernet franc, petit verdot, and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
92 Points Vinous
The 2021 Red Blend comes from Campo de los Andes in the Uco Valley. It is a blend of 55% Malbec, 16% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, 70% aged in a third new oak barrels with the remainder going into steel tanks. A rich purple in hue. The nose presents a complex array of aromas ranging from plum and blackberry to violets, ash and oak. It's dry and juicy on the palate, with refined tannins and well-balanced acidity. Concentrated and long-lasting, the cool vintage brought an extra dimension.
Winemaker Notes
Clos de los Siete's extraordinary terroir, with well-drained sandy-clay soil complemented by a good density of pebbles, has the particularity of containing the vines' growth and ensuring perfect maturity.
