"The 2021 Clos Apalta comprises 75% Carménère, with the remainder filled

out by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, sourced from the eponymous

Apalta Vineyard. It was aged for 24 months in oak barrels, two-thirds of

which were new. This dark purple wine reveals nuanced aromas of

graphite, herbs, dried plums and blackberry marmalade, complemented

by mint, boldo and garrigue-like notes over a green bell pepper layer.

Plush and ample on the palate, it is lifted by a mild refreshing quality that

adds a rare nimbleness to its flow. This long-lasting red is a serious wine,

less influenced by Michel Rolland's style than in other years, as the fresh

vintage imparted a lighter, less ripe and more expressive character. Clos

Apalta is one of those rare Chilean wines that reliably showcases the

characteristics of each vintage while maintaining a consistent house style.

That steadiness is a boon for consumers, as it allows them to appreciate

the impact of different vintages, which is a significant part of the allure of

high-quality wines.
