Keeper, especially for Value

Crystal clear, with green tints. Transparent, greenish reflections are nice.

Dried fruit aroma—peaches and cherries. Cinnamon and tropical fruit also present. The aroma is quite lovely and surprisingly strong.

Rather dry, but great. The flavor reaches the back of the mouth—somewhat round, especially for a white wine. A tad bitter also, but in a smooth way. There’s a nice fruitiness that helps to balance the dryness. It also has a refreshing acidity that kicks in as you savor it in your mouth. Overall, it’s very refreshing and drinkable.

Overall Score: 4.0/5.0. One of the best Torrontes wines I’ve had, and a great way to start off a meal, especially for the price.
