Clos de los Siete Red by Michel Rolland

On the nose, C7’s intense and complex aromatic expression delivers subtle notes of fruit and spice. On the palate, the delicate tannins are ripe and silky and combine with appealing freshness.

Clos des Papes 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape
$149.99Southern Rhone Valley France
Wine Spectator 98 Rating
This offers a drop-dead gorgeous core of cassis and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors that hold center stage but still allow notes of Lapsang souchong tea, anise, incense and shiso leaf to chime in. Very long, with a sublime feel through the mineral-tinged finish. So seductive already, but this should cruise in the cellar. Drink now through 2040. 6,000 cases made, 850 cases imported. SP36-1 -
Clos du Roy 2020 Red Blend Fronsac
Price range: $29.99 through $150.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
The 2020 Clos Du Roy offers up a pure, beautifully clean bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, tobacco, and cedary spices. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Fronsac with a balanced, layered mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s a stunning Fronsac to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years. SP51-4

Clos Henri 2024 Otira Glacial Stones Sauvignon Blanc
Price range: $29.99 through $300.00Marlborough New Zealand
Wine Advocate 96 Rating
The 2024 Otira Glacial Stones Sauvignon Blanc is just such a fantastic wine. I love it every year. Mineral tension, poise and elongated shape are the hallmarks of this wine. The wine has a smell of fresh sheets, crisp, crushed shells, white spice and ocean air. I appreciate the length and stretch of this wine—it fully extends and lingers, and there is a textural pulsing and undulation. It is truly excellent. 2024 was a warm vintage and produced wines of amplitude and volume, yet here the terroir has compressed the fruit into its own shape. So, with the coupling of the season and the terroir, we have this. It’s a triumph among triumphs. The numbers of this wine are mad/impressive to behold: very low pH (2.97), a good level of total acidity (6.5) and 14% alcohol. Years of high-density planting and organic management (since 2010, certified 2013) in this place has enabled a wine of balance to achieve these numbers. Sealed under Diam.

Clos i Terrasses Clos Erasmus 2017 Laurel
$59.99Priorat, Spain
Wine Advocate 95 Rating
The 2017 Laurel is a blend of the younger vines, some barrels that were declassified from Clos Erasmus and the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon, and in the low-yielding and dry 2017 vintage, it's 70% Garnacha, 20% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 15% alcohol. The wine fermented mostly in concrete and oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a combination of oak vats, concrete, used barriques and amphorae for 16 months. They produce this to be approachable from the moment it's released. The 2017s feel very aromatic, open, expressive and young, quite primary, tender and juicy and surprisingly fresh for a dry, warm year that resulted in a very early harvest. There is a peachy, soft, approachable quality here that I like very much. Surprisingly enough, winemaker and proprietor Daphne Glorian sees reminiscences of the 2013s in the 2017s, and I have to agree. SP35-6 -
Clos La Roquete 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc
$49.99Southern Rhone Valley France
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
I always love this white, and the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc Clos Roquete Blanc is no exception. Pure, clean, and elegant, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe lemon, honeysuckle, and white flowers, it has a pretty, seamless, impeccably balanced profile and is already impossible to resist.

Clos La Roquete 2023 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
Price range: $59.99 through $330.00Southern Rhone Valley France
James Suckling 95 Rating
Intense and aromatic, with so much texture to it. Notes of dried lemons, dried herbs, pears, blanched almonds and anise. Full-bodied with a well-rounded, suave and ample development on the palate. Plenty of dried herb character and vibrant spices. Creamy but agile. Drink or hold.

Clos Mogador 2022 Priorat
Price range: $119.99 through $600.00Spain
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
Their single-vineyard 2022 Clos Mogador, they flagship wine, was produced with a blend of grapes, mostly Garnacha and Cariñena but also some Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (less and less, as they are regrafting most of them). It has a very Mediterranean nose with plenty of dry hay and straw notes, the classical wet slate notes, very Priorat too, and it has a round palate and very fine, chalky tannins. It’s serious and harmonious and feels relaxed, without any excess.

Clos Pegase 2022 Mitsuko’s Vineyard Chardonnay
Price range: $24.99 through $120.00Carneros Napa Valley California
Enjoyabilityfactor 92 Rating
The Mitsuko’s Chardonnay is a beautiful clear lemon color in the glass. With vibrant aromas of toasted oak, ripe melon, pear and bakers spice. On the palate, the bright acidity lends a refreshing quality to the wine, supported by fruit flavors of peach, cantaloupe and a touch of citrus. The oak integrates well, adding dimension to the wine, bringing in toasted coconut, brioche and custard. Well balanced and lower in alcohol, this wine is intense, complex and delicious.
