100% Torrontes.
Not available online. $14-$15 on Wine-searcher for the 2007.

Contrary to its name, this is from the young line of the winery.

White, crystal color, with few tints. Great, fruity, sweet aroma. Very dry on taste. Great contrast between the dryness of the wine and the sweetness of the aroma. Rather smooth and light, too. Very young, and it’s youth really shows. Little length.

Overall Score: 2.5/5.0, for me, personally. More of a 3.0/5.0 for the normal wine drinker. Wine Spectator even gives this wine 90 points, but that’s probably too high for something this simple.
