Grape Varietals:

34% Malbec, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot

Tasting Notes:

Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot come together perfectly in this stimulating, complex and structured wine, better expressing the complex and rich terroir with spicy and red-fruit aromas. Freshness, structure, persistence — this is a wine that preserves unchanged traits of the original season and terroir, intensified by 14 months in French oak.

92 Points - Wine Spectator, Bruce Sanderson, August 2024. "Effusive aromas and flavors of blackberry, boysenberry and plum are shaded with vanilla and graphite in this energetic red, which is balanced and focused, with a long, fruit-stained aftertaste."

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck, Audrey Frick, January 2024. “Made from Malbec, Cabernet, and Merlot, the dark red 2019 Indaco is expressive with a floral perfume and ripe fruit with good purity on opening, revealing notes of blueberry, plum, polished cedar, mocha, and sweet herbs. On the palate, its plush fruit gives way to undercurrents of dark mineral earth, saline, and espresso on the finish. It offers ripe but youthful tannins, possibly from wood, and a rather persistent finish. As with the other wines in the range, it’s a great option with a New World sensibility.”

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Monica Larner, February 2024. “The Tenuta Sette Cieli 2019 Indaco is a textured wine that has moments of softness and extra richness interwoven with dark fruit, pencil shaving and dried fruit. This vintage naturally delivers concentration and richness, but a dry quality to the fruit remains throughout, especially on the tannins. The blend is equal parts Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."
