2022 Susana Balbo Wines 'Crios' Cabernet Sauvignon Uco Valley

Winemaker Notes: Intense red color with aromas of ripe plum, cherries and vanilla notes. In the mouth, black fruits, black pepper and blueberries stand out harmoniously. The ripe and vibrant tannins provide an elegant structure and a long and persistent finish.

Susana Balbo founded CRIOS as a tribute to her children, Jose and Ana. Together, they craft wines to be enjoyed across generations and to represent values they strive to instill in their own families. Crios Cabernet Sauvignon signifies the trust in instinct that was needed to create a Cabernet Sauvignon that could compete on the world stage.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2022 Crios Cabernet Sauvignon was produced with grapes from different vineyards in the Valle de Uco, mostly Los Chacayes and Los Árboles, fermented in stainless steel and with 40% of the wine matured in neutral and well-seasoned oak barrels for seven months. There is a notable absence of green aromas here—yes, it's herbal, spicy and varietal but not green, as it has good ripeness and some 14.5% alcohol and mellow acidity giving it a soft mouthfeel. In the last few years, they have shortened the time in barrel, lowered the toast of the barrels and gone for older barrels, and the wines feel more harmonious and more fruit-driven. 96,000 bottles produced. 90+"
