A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: The style of the 2016 Susana Balbo Signature Malbec shows the hand of the winemaker, with a little warmer fermentation and perhaps a little more extraction. However, in the cooler and wetter 2016, this feels as fresh and floral as the BenMarco Malbec, and it has a polished and balanced palate, with some fine-grained tannins and clean, pure flavors. Precise, focused and fresh. Drink Date: 2018-2022. Score - 92+ (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 29, 2018) Price $ 19.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
