Merchant's description
Clos Apalta is a blend of Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine shows a complex nose of ripe black fruits such as cassis, blackberries and figs, along with nuts, cinnamon and liquorice. Intense creamy attack with black fruit flavours. Long-lasting velvety tannins, followed by an intense and elegant finish.
