"A key wine in the recent history of torrontés and its internationalization, this Críos has been the spearhead for making this variety known. And it's an excellent example of the grape. Fresh and juicy with floral and fruity aromas and good density at a pretty painless price--you couldn't ask for anything more."

"As usual, this Críos offers excellent value for money in a wine that was a pioneer in showing torrontés to the world, especially to the North American market. This has aromas of flowers and spices in a light body with juicy acidity and lots of fruity flavors. Ideal for the summer. This year's Críos Torrontés is 100% from the Uco Valley."

"This is a blend of two origins: Altamira in the Uco Valley, and Cafayate in the north. According to Susana Balbo, Altamira contributes the herbs and citrusy side, while Cafayate adds the ripe white fruit aromas. The result is a tremendously fresh wine (something you often don't find in this variety) that hasn't lost its varietal character. The texture is smooth and round. An aperitif wine."

"A mixture of vineyards in the Cafayate zone and Mendoza, this is a floral wine with a rather tense texture, ripe white fruit flavors, and very rich acidity. Balbo made 28,000 bottles of this wine--the one you need for Thai food."

"Now a classic, Crios was the first torrontés to open the market, especially in the USA by making it more accessible, more perfumed and less rustic. And this is a good example of that. There are floral notes everywhere here, along with good body that's both creamy and agile at the same time."

"Slightly oily, gritty aromas match wits with melon and lychee scents. The palate is propped up by adequate acidity, while flavors of melon, orange and lychee are typical and end sweet and tropical."

"Expect to see plenty of this Torrontés across the States (18,000 cases have been imported). But also expect a wine that's lemony and that carries scents of floor polish and air freshener. Being lithe and jumpy is not an issue; the wine is definitely lively. But it doesn't have that ethereal, tropical quality that the best Torrontes' have. It's narrow and limited."

"Smooth on the bouquet, with papaya, melon and other more neutral fruit aromas. The palate shows a teaspoon or two of sugary sweetness, while melon, mango and ripe apple flavors fill things out. A pleasant wine with a lightly candied way to it. Simple and basic, and decidedly not bitter."

"(2008) Haunting nose, with a gentle suggestion of honey and spices, and a soft, peach down fruit quality. On the palate this is beautifully tempered, brimming with bright oranges and lemons fruit. Gorgeous stuff, and for me probably the best Torrontés in this line-up."

"(2008) Beautifully sherbetty and refined floral nose, with a streak of something racy and green fruited. The palate has vibrancy and crispness, with some fat and silky texture, but the raciness of the acids and the crunch of the fruit pushes through."

"(2006) This is a sort of "second label" from Susana Balbo, who's excellent Malbec in her main range is reviewed below. It is floral, fragrant, and typically Torrontes, with a touch of Nivea cream. Some of that exotic ripeness and floral character comes through on the palate, but this is dry and uncompromising, with white fruit and plenty of racy, crisp acidity in a reasonably long finish.
