Vintage Cellar Tasting - Norton Torrontes

  • Name: Norton Torrontes
  • Variety: Torrontes
  • Region: Mendoza
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $5.95
  • Shop Review: Greenish yellow with hints of gold, this Torrontes has intense aromas of white peach, rose petal, and jasmine.  Norton Torrontes 2011 is pleasant and well balanced on the palate.
  • My Review: This wine had a nice, sweet smell but also a little sour due to hints of grapefruit.  The flavor was almost floral in taste and maybe a bit peachy.  It had a very smooth finish in my opinion and had a silky feel going down.  I purchased this wine, it had some of the smoothest, calmest flavors of the bunch.  Not too sweet and not too bland.
  • Still no food
