white wine style:
Light & Crisp Fruity & Smooth Rich & Creamy
winemaker's notes:

Enticing aromas that are strikingly similar to Viognier, with hints of peach pit, white pear, flowers, and orange citrus fruit. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with enticing fruit flavors and plenty of body for a wine that shows such delicate aromas and flavors. Fruity, floral and yet still quite dry, this wine has to be tasted to be believed.

Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood (especially crab).

"This brilliant portfolio begins with the medium straw-colored 2008 Torrontes. It offers up an alluring perfume of spring flowers, peach, apricot, and a hint of citrus. On the palate the wine is dry, smooth textured, layered, and succulent while retaining a sense of elegance. This nicely balanced wine features a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 1-2 years.

The Crios de Susana Balbo label has rapidly become synonymous with great value. Susana Balbo is also widely credited with developing the modern style of Torrontes; hers remains the benchmark."

brilliant summer wine.

rating (9/28/2010):
Despite the aromatic and lovely smell, the wine opens too tart on the palette to be that enjoyable in the mouth. Not a torrentes I would try again.
Floyd Bloom - San Diego, CA (read all my reviews)
rating (9/27/2010):
Neither chardonnay nor sauvignon blanc, this is an outstanding white wine, full bodied, utmost in fruitiness, and vert refined slow finish on the palate.
