P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with nice, almost swtish frt adequately balanced by acidity. The finish is fairly LONG, balanced, & tangy/swt (50:50). For now & at least into Spring '19. My VG/VG+. [This vendor's $12.99 beats the only currently listed wine-searcher entry by $2.]

100% Torrontés grown at more than a mile above sea level; 14.0% ABV, 1.94 g/L R.S., 3.30 pH, & 5.99 g/L; 6,100 cases.
N: Minerals with notes of grass, poss flowers
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by a grapefrty acidity which definitely dominates into & through the LONG, grapefrty, bitterish finish which ULT softens. Might improve over the next 6 mos or so, then drink through '20? My VG-, more IF it softens. [This vendor's $12.99 beats the only currently listed wine-searcher entry by $2.]
