Altas Cumbres
Torrontes 2009
Variety: Torrontes
Mendoza, Spain
8.95 USD
Yellow color with greenish nuances. Very intense aroma of fresh grapes, flower perfume and mature peaches. Fresh in the mouth. Light and easy to drink. Ideal with seafood, Thai and Chinese food. (Vintage Cellar)
This was like night and day with the previous wine [the Altas Cumbres Viognier]. Immediately you are hit by an amazing flowery perfume on the nose yet it still maintained its "lightness". There was a nice sweet fruit base that complimented the the strong floral edge. It was a delightfully crisp and light wine that was still very smooth all the way through. It left a nice coating in your mouth afterwords as well. You couldn't get any hint of alcohol except for maybe a smidgen on the back end. There was an interesting fruit component but was unable to make out what exactly it was. For this price I will definitely be revisiting this wine in the future.
