From the Uco Valley, Mendoza. Susana Balbo Signature 2017 Malbec is rich and lush on the palate with blueberry-blackberry pie aromas and flavours, spicy and toasty wrapped up in a smoky veil. Nicely done. Susana Balbo is one of the most accomplished winemakers in Argentina. In 2018, she was included in The Drink Business magazine's list of the 10 most influential women in the wine world. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
