Bright and racy red with black plums, cherries, fresh blackberries, violets and some dark spices. Medium-bodied and crunchy, imbued with juicy fruit and smooth tannins. Delicious food-wine, showing drinkability. Not quite complex, but you want to drink a whole glass. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. (James Suckling)

Crios Malbec

2022 / 750 ml.

Item #: 70898

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, April 4, 2023
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. (Zekun Shuai)
RP91+91+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Nov 2022
Tasting the 2022 Crios Malbec next to the new organic one, it was easy to see how this wine from the Valle de Uco (from Los Chacayes, Vista Flores, Los Árboles and Gualtallary Sur) is subtler and has a different point of balance despite having very similar parameters. Here, 40% of the volume spends eight months in used French oak barrels, but there is no aromatic influence of the élevage. It’s fresh, balanced and juicy but with a little more austerity and fine-grained tannins. Clean, approachable and tasty. 720,000 bottles produced represents a huge chunk of the total production of the winery. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Subtle aromas of cinnamon, black and red fruit form an attractive bouquet. This is a smooth wine, with a desirable tannin structure. Mulberry and blackberry flavors are enhanced by a touch of oak spices and extend into an enjoyable finish. A classic Malbec at an affordable price that will pair perfectly with grilled meats.

Shop for Malbec Wine

It's easy to see why Malbec has exploded in popularity recently. The Malbec grape displays lush fruit, bold spice, and a smooth mouth-feel, plus it's food-friendly (pair it with steaks and other red meats) and available at a wide range of prices from "everyday" to "cellar me."

The grape's traditional home has been western France, as one of six grapes permitted in Bordeaux, where it is blended with Cabernet and Merlot. Wine Master Jancis Robinson refers to French Malbec as a more "rustic" version of Merlot.

By and large, however, Malbec's new home is in Argentina, where it dominates viticulturally. Here, the Malbec grape is made into single varietal wines, as well as blended with its classic partners Cab and Merlot. The Argentine version tends to show more fruit and a more velvety texture than the French Malbec. Red Wine enthusiasts are taking notice!
