The Crios line of wines are a creation of famed Argentine winemaker, Susan Balboa. She was recognized as one of "The Most Influential Women Wine Makers" in 2012 and "Woman of the Year" in 2015 by the Drinks Business magazine.
The intent of the Crios line is to produce fruit forward and easy drinking wines to be consumed in their youth. They are natural wines for enjoyment on their own, but also work well at barbecues and other social gatherings. Not to mention, they have received numerous awards and high ratings since their creation.
The Torrontes is an aromatic white varietal. It often smells sweet, but it does finish dry. This is perfect for sitting on the deck on a clear afternoon, or pairing with Asian or Indian Quisine.
The Red Blend is a combination of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Tannat. It is a soft, lush wine with just a hint of oak. Open this one up at any backyard barbecue, and you'll be considered a wine guru by your friends.
Finally, the Malbec, a signature varietal for Argentina, is a structured, sturdy wine to go along with that big Rib Eye sizzling on the grill. The presence of more tannins from time spent in oak barrels are soften by the fat content of the steak.
These wines are very reasonably priced and seamlessly go from a Tuesday night wine to a Saturday night wine.
