Alamos 2008 Torrontes

Ever want something really different in a white? Torrontes is something to try. It's generally inexpensive but very tasty. It's much like sauvignon blanc but very forward with big citrus and melon on the tongue. I sensed a little bit of nutmeg and basil along with peach and lemon. The nose is lemony with a grassy touch. It finishes very nice with a long sour send-off.

Compare this to a young and flavorful sauvignon blanc but more tasty. It's a big hit in Argentina but still mostly unknown in the US. This means you get a whole lot of bang for your buck! This offering from Alamos can be had for less than $10 most everywhere. Buy it up now and enjoy for it won't be long before everyone else knows about torrontes. Once they do, the price is sure to go up.

T-Scale 89+. I love this one for the money! Actually, I love this one for the taste. Christina even liked it - bonus!
