  October 23, 2011 - Tasted blind from a decanter. Clear lemon, with medium intensity. The nose is clean, of medium plus intensity. The nose is youthful and fresh but is not likely to improve with age. There is a flood of beautiful floral aromas (orange blossom and gardenia), ripe nectarine and melon. The palate is dry and quite a departure from the aromatic sweetness of the nose. The palate has flavors of stone fruit (peach) citrus (grapefruit), melon and a nice minerality. The acidity is medium, the alcohol and body are all medium to medium plus. The flavor intensity is medium plus, but the length of the finish is rather short. Overall, the wine was good, but disjointed. Maybe that is the nature of Torrontes itself. Very drinkeable now, and not intended for ageing. A great value at $10.00 and below. I liked it better than the other tasters, who found it to be just acceptable.

  July 23, 2011 - Very impressive for the price. A bit of a cross between a Sauvignon Blanc and a Viognier. Lively citrus notes, floral elements and a pleasing bitter edge to it, like ginger root. Nice crispness and high in refreshment value, especially on this hot day. On the second day, I noticed a slight Gewurtz-like lychee note; still holding a nice acidic bite.

  July 20, 2011 - Golden color. Nice bouquet and medium to heavy mouth feel with taste of lime and tropical fruit. Bit off balance in the end.

  June 18, 2011 - Not a very ambitious wine. Export focus. In any case, typical "torrontes"; tasty; and easy-drink
