2007 Alta Vista Torrontés Premium

This was wine number 1 of 2 in the tasting today, and I am on the fence with this wine. At first, this wine did absolutely nothing for me, but a day later, I had the taste of this wine in my mouth, and I found it rather intriguing that here it is 24 hours later, and I can taste it again. That being said, I think that this wine needs to be re-visited. From my original notes: pale straw color in the glass, with a nose of apple and pear. This definitely had a nice nose, but didn't blow me away to say the least. Moving on to the palate, this is a "crisp" wine, and would be a good summer sipper. Lots of citrus on the palate, with a bit of acidity, and a bit of alcohol. I think one of the problems was that with it being at a tasting, it wasn't at the temperature that I really enjoy white wines at. I think that had this been pulled straight off the ice, I would have enjoyed it more. The finish was simple, again with hints of acidity and lemon rhine. For now, 80 points, but I think it's worth picking up a bottle to serve on a hot summer day to re-visit. The lacking complexity, bite, and bitterness of this wine are what give it the low score, but it could really change based on the serving temp. Maybe we'll see. Cheers!
