In a country dominated by male winemakers, Susana Balbo stands out not only for her gender, but for her incredible skill and experience. She's been making wine since she earned her enology degree in 1981, and she has probably produced a wider variety of wines than any other winemaker in Argentina. Susana's pet project is her Crios label, and we were really excited to get our hands on her Rose of Malbec. If anybody can handle this grape, she can! The rose has plenty of fruit and complexity; close your eyes and you'll swear it's a really light red. '89 points. The 2007 Rose of Malbec is medium pink with an expressive bouquet of strawberry and cherry. The wine is medium-bodied with lots of glycerin giving the wine a smooth palate feel. Dry in style, the wine has rich flavors, excellent acidity, and a lengthy finish. Drink this remarkably food-friendly wine over the next 1-2 years.' - Robert Parker
