Tasting- "Maipe Torrontes"

Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review: "Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body.  Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as well."

My Review: This is another clear wine. It has a very fruity smell and a taste to match. It was a bit too sweet for my palette, although it would probably pair very well with spicy food.
