"The 2006 Syrah-Bonarda (50% of each) is purple-colored with an expressive nose of pepper, spice box, and blueberry. On the palate the wine is supple-textured and easy-drinking with plenty of vibrant, spicy, ripe dark fruits, soft tannins, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink this tasty wine over the next 3-4 years. Although Susana Balbos?s Crios offerings are the declassified lots from her more expensive signature wines, they need make no apologies. They rank among the best values from my Argentina wine tastings. All of the Crios wines are outstanding values."
