Tasting - Norton Torrontes

Date of Tasting: February 14, 2013
Name: Norton Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoz 
Country: Argentina
Year:2011
Price: $5.95

Shop Review: Greenish yellow with hints of gold, this Torrontés has intense aromas of white peach, rose petal, and jasmine. Norton Torrontés 2011 is pleasant and well balanced on the palate.

My Review: On the nose, I could detect some apple notes. Originally just based off of the smell, I thought it was going to be a sweet wine. When I tasted it, it turned out to be very dry. 

With or Without Food: Without food
