critic/Winery 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: I have not had too many Torrantés in my lifetime and was looking forward to having a little different white. The smell was very light with a nice balance of floral and fruit. The taste was even more balanced with a hint of acidity on the finish. It was very refreshing and light but it just seemed a little off for me. Since I am not a fan of floral in wine, I think it set me off slightly but since it was not too strong I still enjoyed it. It would be very nice on a summer day while sitting on the front porch listening to the birds and breeze all around you (I hope that painted a nice image in your mind!).
