Nicely put together but totally generic, as if it were sent from the central casting dept. The nose has some rubber and smoke to go with black fruit, while the palate has good body and sweet black plum and berry flavors. Full enough but not baked or heavy.

Woodsy, spicy aromas form a solid opening. There’s adequate acidity on the palate along with raspberry, red plum and mild herbal notes. Racy, spicy and just toasty enough to rate well across the finish.

Opens with grassy notes along with cleaner, fruitier cherry and cassis aromas. The palate is medium bodied, with forward, jammy flavors of blackberry. Finishes flush but simple, with softness as opposed to a strong backbone of heavy tannins.

A little sharp and unfocused on the nose, but the palate is simple and juicy, with tangy red-fruit flavors backed by good acidity and solid tannins. Overall it’s healthy and ready but sorely missing that one key ingredient: finesse.

Fiery and crisp, with decent berry and cherry aromas giving it character. The palate is medium to racy, with zesty raspberry, cherry and rhubarb flavors. Finishes short and a little prickly, with heat and a hint of chocolate. Very basic, but by no means a bad wine.

Simple aromas of lemon and lychee are just fresh enough, while the palate offers good feel and pithy, somewhat bland flavors of the same fruits that appear on the bouquet. The finish is lemony, and overall this is a good, basic Torrontés to drink as soon as you can.

Vanilla and Animal Cracker aromas fold in mango and banana. The palate is soft and creamy, with not much acidity and pulpy flavors of ripe banana and pithy citrus. Soft and peachy on the finish.

Opens with gravelly raspberry aromas and sour citrus notes. The palate is high in acidity, while the main flavors are black fruit, licorice and rubber. Licorice reappears on the finish, which is sweet but hard.
