2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes

90 pts Wine Advocate. The 2007 Torrontes, from the high elevation Salta region of Argentina, is about as good as this varietal gets. Super fragrant, smelling of a spring flower garden, honey, and exotic spices, from the nose one expects the wine to be sweet. On the palate, however, it is dry with a creamy texture, intense flavors, excellent acidity, and a lengthy finish. It is an ideal alternative for rich courses normally calling for Chardonnay.

We served it with a Salmon Nicoise Salad for dinner.
