Tasting - Maipe Torrontes 2014

The second wine of the tasting was the Maipe Torrontes 2014 from Mendoza, Argentina.  This wine also is typically $14 but was on sale for $7.95.

The Vintage Cellar provided the following review:
"The wine has a spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well-balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish."

This Maipe really reminded me of a sweet white grape juice on the nose. From a tasting perspective, the first thing that came to mind was butter - I definitely got a bit of a butterfinger taste on this one. It was very smooth and had hints of honey that brought the sweetness. In the aftertaste, I got a strange vegetable taste that I noted might have been asparagus, but it wasn't nearly as bitter as typical asparagus. 

Overall, I thought this wine was very smooth and enjoyable. This is the kind of wine I could see myself drinking by itself with no food, although I'm sure it would also be good with food.
