2007 Crios Torrontes Notable Press Summary
2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes
91 points
Wine & Spirits, June 2008
"Susana Balbo consistently delivers refined, clean Torrontes like this 2007, a white filled with ripe melon and honey scents. The deep flavors surround sweet peach with spice in a creamy texture. The finish is refreshing."
2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes
88 points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, February 2008
"Pale color. Pungent aromas of citrus peel, ginger, mint and floral oils. Juicy, spicy and firm, with a lively lightness and good subtle persistence. Finishes vibrant and firm-edged, almost austere but not at all bitter. An excellent example of this variety, and a perfect aperitif. This tastes even drier than its five grams of r.s. would suggest."
2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes

Robert Parker Jr.'s "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2007 Torrontes is about as good as the varietal gets. Super fragrant, smelling of a spring flower garden, honey, and exotic spices, from the nose on expects the wine to be sweet. On the palate, however, it is dry with a creamy texture, intense flavors, excellent acidity, and a lengthy finish. It is an ideal alternative for rich courses normally calling for Chardonnay. All of the Crios wines are outstanding values."
2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes
Food & Wine Magazine, January 2008
" Malbec has been all the rage in Argentina. This year, we predict it will be trumped by Torrontes, Argentina's most widely planted white. Look for the 2007 Crios."
2006 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes
90 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
"A subtle and refined torrontes, this wine is light and floral, with refreshing acidity brightening its soft, creamy texture. A good match for frieed seafood."
2006 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes
The New York Times, October 2006
"Dominio del Plata's 2006 Crios de Susana Balbo is a brilliant example of Torrontes, Argentina's principal dry white. Its floral scents bring to mind a perfume shop. Its citric flavors are delectable. Ms. Balbo's Torrontes incorporates characteristics of young Riesling, Albarino and Viognier. Given a quick chill, it is a show-stopping aperitif. Its spiciness can enhance Thai, Chinese, Korean and Japanese dishes."
