Wine of the Week

27th February 2006

2003 Clos de los Siete, Michel Rolland,
Mendoza, Argentina, £10.99, Majestic Wine

This looks like becoming a role model for similar enterprises in Argentina. The vines are situated in some of Mendoza's higher vineyards, and the grapes clearly appreciate the conditions. This is splendid stuff – rich plum and prune fruit with a good herb rasp and grainy tannin that adds bite to lovely chocolaty texture and sweet nutty oak.
