Crios Mendoza Red Blend

Right-bank Bordeaux quality to this one. Dried fruit, ripe plums, herbs.

Tows the line. Solid wine. Susana Balbo makes very elegant wines. Not a dud in the bunch

Nice full of flavor, bold but easier then Cab.

Continuing my Susana Balbo journey tonight with this red blend... Very interesting to taste across the range.

Deep red with terroir at nose, complex as a blend. Bit dry, sweet notes and fruity plum and berries at tongue.
Good wine.

Pairing it with a chimichurri steak and fried plantains but is it enjoy it just as much on its own. Nice and full, a little smoother than a Malbec but richer than a cab.

Lots of red fruit, notes of black pepper, a bit too much acid, and some hot alcohol. Decent and works with red meat, but nothing too special.

Nice fruit, but too much acid, just not a great taste.

Not so much. A little bitter, never opened up.

Ruby red color. Boozy. Dark fruits like plums. Raspberry. Pepper spice in the aftertaste.
