Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos Colchagua Valley 2016
$60 retail! Now just $39.95, with free ground shipping on 3 or more! Chile’s Iconic Clos Apalta is on a tear lately racking up 100-poin01t scores, vintage after vintage.
The 2016 Petit Clos has really hit its stride in 2016, with the blend now almost exclusively Cabernet Sauvignon and sourced from vineyards that are certified organic and biodynamic. There is nothing "petite" about this wine. It’s loaded with cassis and blackberry, cherry and dried currant with glorious undertones of fresh herbs, pink peppercorn and a hint of vanilla. This shift to a Cabernet-dominant wine (the 2015 was mostly Camenere) makes this wine feel less like a “second wine” and more like its own unique expression of this world-class terroir.
This wine moves well into the no-brainer category at $39.95, and with the beautiful 6-pack wood boxes and chic packaging, will make a beautiful centerpiece in any collection. Wood boxes available upon request on 6 bottle orders! While it lasts...!
