Clos Apalta - Decanter	Clos Apalta	2016		Dec-2019
Review “The Clos Apalta vineyard is certified organic/biodynamic and the vines dating back to 1920 on original rootstocks are low-yielding, with the new parcels higher up benefiting from the afternoon shade. A blend of 64% Carmenère, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, the nose is fragrant and spicy, the fruit deep with natural vineyard grip, a very exciting wine for the next decade or more.”

Review “This is really focused and refined with fantastic dried flowers and dark berries. Dried-lavender and mint undertones. Medium-to full-bodied with refined and polished tannins that are all together and so focused. Really integrated and melted together on the palate. Compact and very linear. Please give this two or three years to come completely together, but it’s already breathtaking.” (#27)
Clos Apalta - Beverage Media	Clos Apalta	2015		Nov-2019
Review “Hailing from the relatively warmer Colchagua Valley, this includes a bit of Carmenere. Full-bodied with ripe black fruit, it showed ‘velvety chocolate flavors punctuated by savory notes of herbal tea, soy and umami,’ observed Schatz. It’s still somewhat youthful; and chewy tannins and flavors of, ‘black cherry, vanilla, spice and tobacco’ will evolve and integrate with time, Landa predicted.”

Review BEST VALLEY CHOICE/ APALTA: “In addition to being a blend of varieties (46% carménère, 30% cabernet, 19% merlot, and 5% franc), Clos Apalta is also a blend of vineyards, all in Apalta, including some very old vines (especially the carménère and cabernet) dating to 1920 that have been the base of this wine since its debut vintage in 1997. And even though it’s not the monster of ripeness and oak that it was at the beginning, it’s still a voluptuous wine with an enveloping, succulent character that fills every corner of the palate with its spice tones and ripe black fruit.”

Review “Mouthwatering flavors of blackberry, currant and dark plum show lively spice and pepper accents in this refined red. Carmenère blend.”
Clos Apalta - Wine Spectator	Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta	2015	92	May-2019
Review “Focused dried red fruit flavors are supported by fresh acidity in this very lithe and minerally version. Cabernet Sauvignon blend.”

Review “A juicy and delicious second wine from Clos Apalta. Beautiful, ripe and delicious with dark berries and mushrooms. Full-bodied and very balanced with complex walnut, spice and berry character. Dark chocolate and hazelnuts at the finish.”

Clos Apalta - Tim Atkin, MW	Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta	2015	91	Mar-2019
Review “Le Petit Clos is like a scaled-down version of its older brother, Clos Apalta, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with 47% Carmenère and 4% Petit Verdot. Plush, ripe and well upholstered with lots of new oak and notes of fig, cassis and mulberry. Rich and intense.”
