FBB0A7E2-4090-4EBF-B551-1021C8F2CD56.jpeg
Name: Don Manuel Villafane
Variety: Torrontes
Region: La Rioja
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $13.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  90 points, a really good and clean white wine with all the tropicality and zest that this Argentine variety can give.  The nose is crystalline and pure, with white flower scents of jasmine and citrus blossom, while the palate is round, melony, and fully of lychee and papaya.  Smooth on the finish.  Drink soon.

My Review:  This was a bit of a sweeter wine.  It had hints of pear, melons, and a citrusy-lime taste.  It was viscous and almost coated your tongue.  I did not pair this wine with food  and it was just fine on it's own!  I would drink this wine again.
