Colores Del Sol
Crisp White Blend
San Juan, Cuyo, Argentina
50% Chardonnay, 20% Torrontés, 20% Semillón, 10% Moscato. The Torrontés dominates with its unmistakable lychee and jasmine, but the body and green apple of the Chardonnay ameliorate it slightly, and the Moscato adds its own twinge to the sweet aroma. I'm not familiar with Semillón to detect what it's doing. Body is hefty (13.5%), finish is crisp and refreshing, acid is well balanced. You could do WAY worse with an Argentinian white, but if you don't like Torrontés you won't like this.
