TASTING NOTE: Very pale bright yellow. Pure, delicate, high-pitched perfume of rose petal and dusty brown spices. Brisk, tactile and quite dry but with an essentially supple texture--even a slightly glyceral character--to the flavors of grapefruit pith, lemon, flowers, spices and salty minerality. This serious yet seductive example of torrontes finishes with sneaky dusty persistence. Score - 91 (Stephen Tanzer, vinousmedia.com, March 2014) Price $ 13.95
