Reviews

Vinous Media 93

The 2022 Malbec Susana Balbo Signature, which includes 4% Petit Verdot from Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, is a purple-hued wine that showcases plums, violets and herbal notes, along with a deep flow of black and red fruit gliding over a moderate oak layer. Dry, plush and juicy, the wine's Altamira character adds a firm structure with fine-grained tannins and a chalky texture, leading to a fruit-filled finish. This is a complex, well-crafted wine with a terroir-driven core.

Wine Advocate 93+

The 2022 Susana Balbo Signature Malbec leads with a black-fruited, savory nose of tobacco and charcoal aromas with lifted herbal accents. The palate is inky and concentrated yet admirably precise and compact, concluding with an effortlessly rich and velvety finish. As with the entirety of Susana Balbo's roster, this exudes a pure, sleek, contemporary polish without feeling the least bit over-engineered.
