2009 Crios Torrontes

Hello all!! We had this wine a few nights ago with baked chicken with roasted latin veggies. This was a very good match and actually saved the meal as the vegetables were a little bland (next time I'll add an onion). It had a pale dandelion color. The nose was of pear, citrus, and lemon zest. The flavors were similar but with a lightly honeyed mouth-feel. It had soft acid and was clean and light on the palate. This is actually one of my favorite white varietals and is generally available at very reasonable prices. Torrontes are generally consistently good, and are an excellent choice for people who are not big wine drinkers. It's a good wine to try, if you haven't had it already. This particular wine is about $15 at Ashes.
