Tasting - Crios Malbec

Name: Crios Malbec
Variety: 95% Malbec, 5% Bonarda
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $14.95


Winery Review
5% Bonarda in its blend. It spent 9 months in 50% new French and American oak. Notes of balsam wood, smoke, black cherry, and spice box lead to a similarly styled wine that comes off as just a bit too lean. Again, the flavors are pleasant, but it should be drunk over the net several years while it retains its fruit


My Review
This wine was very good and wasn't too heavy.  Seems like a good wine to have a few glasses of with dinner.


Drank by itself without food.
