Wine Enthusiast
Clos de los Siete, the amalgmated product of Michel Rolland’s Uco Valley wine commune, is rich, round and ripe, with deep aromas and trimmings like polished oak and minerality. The wine is proper, medium to full in size, and full of blackberry, plum and cocoa. No hiccups, pure fruit and complexity make this stellar for the price.
Score: 90.

The 2007 Clos de Los Siete, a wine made by the peripatetic Michel Rolland, remains one of Argentina’s finest values. It is a blend of 48% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Syrah. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up a fragrant bouquet of mineral, violet, black cherry, and black currants. This leads to a medium- to full-bodied wine with both elegance and stuffing. Ripe, intensely flavored, and well-balanced, it will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6 years

Juicy raspberry and red currant fruit is woven with slightly firm toast. Cocoa, raisin and licorice notes peek in on the grippy finish. Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2010.
