Crios De Susana Balbo Torrontes 2008

  • Area: Argentina, Mendoza
  • Grape: Torrontes
  • Alcohol: 13.5%
  • Rating: Black 90 Dilettante 90
Description: The winery's description on the back of the bottle was spot on: "Combines an intensely floral, citrusy aroma similar to viognier with the dry, crisp take of sauvingnon blanc." Absolutely no wood. Screw top.

Finca El Origen Reserva Torrontes 2008

  • Area: Argentina, Valle De Cafayate
  • Grape: Torrontes
  • Alcohol: 14%
  • Rating: Black 90 Dilettante 90
Description: A bouquet of carnations with a touch of citrus fills the nose and attack. Fruity lemon/lime, honeydew, lychee and fresh green herbs excite the tongue. Full bodied, fresh and lightly dry. The lingering finish has an elegant peach pit finale. Not too tart, not too sweet, it was just right. We will buy this again.

Note: we preferred it a little cooler.

Price: $8
