Winery Review: The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit than the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now.
Personal Review: This Torrontes smelled like melon, nectarine, honey, and citrus fruits. However, the taste was quite more pungent than its aromas. The wine was very dry and had a dry finish. The fruits I could detect in the mid-palate were sour as well, such as sour peaches and sour melon. I could appreciate this wine, but it was way too sour and dry for me! I did not have this wine with any food.
