Deep and intense red purple color. Complex and seductive nose of red fruits, blackberries, black cherry and raspberry, mixed with toasted notes of vanilla, black chocolate and coffee. In mouth, the wine is only density, volume and fullness. The exceptional quality of its tannins gives the wine not only a fine and smooth texture, but also a well-structured character, for a great aging potential. The finish is long, velvety and silky.

- It was an explosion of flavor in my mouth! It went well with my short ribs.

- Clos Apalta is the ultimate expression of Casa Lapostolle's dedication to quality made from the best grapes from our Apalta vineyard. This wine, not produced every year, is a belnd of Merlot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Sauvignon from 60-100 year old pre-phylloxera vines.
