Rollie pollie -YUM. On the backend of the nose, the rollie pollie says quietly "here I am". On the palate, the blackberry is 1st and as it fades the rollie pollie makes a muted appearance on the finish. Rollie pollie is what others may call earth or dirt. Hearty tannins.

1st night, pop'n'pour: Nice plum on the nose. Blackberry & dark cherry followed by vanilla notes on the finish. Paired well with grilled hamburgers. 2nd night: The fruit faded & the 14.5% alcohol was quite noticeable.

My first Torrontes. The nose: Heavy dose of Febreze with a shot of lemon Pledge. On the palate I got the same: Febreze & lemon Pledge. This floral element was too strong. My palate was hit with a 2x4 version of a flower. I will try another Producer's Torrontes to see what happens.
