Tasting - Norton Torrontes


Name: Norton Torrontes
Variety: 100% Torrontes
Region: Lujan de Cuyo
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95   

Winery 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. - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes

My review: This wine had a very robust flavor and kind of kick to it. In reference to the notes provided by the VC, I do not taste the peach but do sense the jasmine in a very strong sense. For a white, this was very strong for my liking. However, I think that this wine could pair well with a chicken or fish dish and be completely different on the palate.
