2008 Crios Malbec

Sight: Dark/Black cherry color

Nose: vanilla, toasted brown sugar, cedar, dark ripe spicy cherries, a hint of sweet basil

Palate: dry, cedar, sweet herbs, blackberry preserves, brown sugar and vanilla.

Over all: I find this to be a fantastic everyday Malbec. Need a drink after work? Need a wine to share with friends? Need something to pair with that steak dinner you are preparing? This is your Malbec.

critical acclaim: "The 2008 Malbec spent 8 months in first use French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up an alluring bouquet of Asian spices, cassis, cedar, incense, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, savory, and elegant, this spicy Malbec will also provide pleasure over the next 4 years. " 90 Points The Wine Advocate
