Susana Balbo has been called the 'Evita of Wine' and the 'Queen of Torrontés.' Her Crios Torrontés is floral and fruity with apple blossom, peach, honey, pear and honeydew melon. Argentina's signature grape will work with smoked meats or seafood.

A fresh and spicy malbec with plenty of currants, red cherries and a hint of black olives. Linear and juicy on the palate with a medium body and a flavorful, fruity finish. Sleek tannins thread through it all. Drink now [through 2024+]. Score - 92. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, April 4, 2023)

100% from Los Chacayes, some 1,200 meters up into the Uco Valley, this malbec was aged in barrels for 11 months. This is a red loaded with fruity flavors with spicy and floral touches. The texture is very characteristic of the wines from the area, with those reactive and very firm tannins accompanied by fresh acidity that heightens the red fruits, freshness, and tension. [Will evolve through 2025.] Score - 94. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2021)
