Winery Review:  The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now.

 My review: The smell of the wine centered around fruity and floral scents. I couldn't decided which fruits I smelled because I was overwhelmed by the combination of fruits and floral that I took in. The smell was very strong and sweet. The wine, itself, had a sweet, fruity taste with a hint of lemon. I enjoyed the wine up until the end. The wine left a bitter aftertaste that I didn't enjoy at all.
Food Pairing: None
