Filosur
Wines at the Edge of the Uco Valley Torrontés
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
Drank 12/27/20.
A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.
From 325 mL.
Nose reminiscent of New Zealand sauv blanc, with lemon, grass clippings, and a bit of citrus zest. Palate and body on the lighter side with lemon zest, green apple, and lemongrass. Quick finish. Not great, but better than most torrentes I have had, which is about 3 bottles, so dont take my word as gospel.
3/20/6/4/2 + 50 = 85 pts.

Costco Day 18: my issue isn’t with the wine (it’s good with sushi) but the carbon cost. Juice from Argentina trekked to France and then on to SoCal? Shorter supply chain please.

Advent calendar, day 18. At first this seemed quite sweet, but the sweetness mellows out quickly. The wine has a nice, full flavor.
