2010 La Puerta Torrontes

Taste: 4/5
Value: 5/5
Price: $9

Day 1, I would have given 5/5 - sauvignon blanc esque with a touch of sweetness, but day 3 it had lost that hint of sweet and was very crisp and citrusy.  I still give it a 4/5, because there are times that nothing but a crisp, citrusy wine will do and this is a great price point, plus the finish is long and vibrant.

Torrontes, a white grape, is Argentina's flagship white varietal and a grape that Argentine now calls its own.  Characteristic aromas of flowers and citrus, with crisp acidity and a refreshingly persistent finish.
