Expert Reviews

88 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

Bright, light red.  Perfumed aromas of red berries and flowers.  Cleanly made and lively, with a lovely hint of sweetness to the red berry and spice flavors.  Very attractive, fruity rose with dusty tannins and very good finishing lift.  Susanna Balbo's son Jose Lovaglio, a graduate of UC/Davis, took over winemaking responsibility for the Crios wines with the 2011 vintage.
