La Puerta Alta Torrontes 2010 (about $11)



About the Wine:  Torrontes is an obscure white wine known for it floral nose and palate.  It grows well in Chile and Argentina but has never really caught on in America. 

About THIS Wine:  In the glass it is light and luminous. The nose is strong with citrus, reminiscent of a dry Riesling.  Minerality is sharp on the palate and lingers for an almost salty finish.

Drinking This Wine:  The taste is not altogether pleasant by itself.  Paired with white fish it could make an excellent meal.  The mineral taste of the wine would reduce the need to salt the fish.

Overall Impression:  I am not all that impressed but it is a decent wine.  At eleven dollars it is reasonable for the price.
