Michel Rolland 2021 "Clos de los Siete"

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Clos de los Siete is composed of 59% Malbec, 15% Merlot, 13% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Petit Verdot, a blend that reflects a cooler vintage and emphasizes purity and balance. It displays a deep ruby‑purple color with aromas of blackberry, red fruit, wild herbs, cedarwood, and exotic spice. On the palate, it is medium‑bodied yet concentrated, offering ripe red and blue fruits, leafy herbs, black tea, licorice, and subtle oak tones. The tannins are smooth and well‑integrated, supported by lively acidity and a long, elegant finish that promises graceful aging.

This wine pairs beautifully with richly flavored dishes such as braised short ribs, grilled beef, lamb, pork, roasted mushrooms, and hearty stews. Its balance of fruit, spice, and acidity also complements herb‑driven preparations and aged cheeses, making it versatile across robust, savory cuisines.
