Trivento Torrontés "Select" Mendoza 2008

Tried this Argentine white based on a "if you liked the Palo Alto White, you might like this" recommendation. The label speaks of floral aromas of rose and violet, and "a dab of peach". And all that turned out to be pretty much true, along with a hint of grapefruit pith on the palate. Very light in color, almost clear. Good, medium body for such a light white. Very interesting flavors, like the Palo Alto, very delicate, with good acidity and subtly petillant-- another perfect summer wine. I admit I wasn't familiar with the varietal Torrontés, but am looking forward to trying some other producers' takes on it. Another great value at $8 (on sale @ Dorignac's, reg. $10).
