Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2018 Indaco (a blend of equal parts Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) is soft and richly textured. This wine is all about mouthfeel, and there is plenty of dark fruit, spice and sweet tobacco. The tannins show a dusty quality, and the wine is long and polished. Production is 13,000 bottles. Fruit comes from a 10-hectare site that is very high in elevation (above 350 meters) with lots of rocks and stones.
Vinous Media: 93 Points
The 2018 Indaco is classy and polished to the core. Silky and beautifully persistent, the 2018 impresses with its energy and overall poise. Mocha, espresso, blackberry jam, licorice and lavender come together nicely in this understated offering from Sette Cieli. A touch of aeration releases the aromatics nicely.
