Crios Malbec '23

This Malbec from Susana Balbo's Crios line displays a deep, violet-tinged ruby color. The aromatic profile is fruity and inviting, offering immediate aromas of ripe plums, blackberries, and a hint of violet. The palate is soft, round, and approachable, with a smooth texture, supple tannins and juicy acidity that makes it incredibly easy to drink. Flavors of blueberry and a touch of cocoa lead to a pleasant, fruit-forward finish. This wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment, aged briefly in neutral oak to preserve the pure, vibrant fruit character that is the hallmark of the Crios line. Earning 88 points for its delightful drinkability and outstanding value, it is a versatile red for weeknights, pairing well with grilled meats, pizza, or pasta with tomato sauce.
