Image credit: Vintage Cellar
Name: Bodega Norton Torrontes
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoz
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95 (Vintage Cellar)

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:
This wine smelled like a moscato. Sweet peach aromas. I was quite excited to get in and taste this one. The smell, however, was quite misleading. It was very dry (this time I mean it as "not sweet"). Not much else I can say about it. I didn't like it.
