Río de Los Pájaros Reserve Progreso Torrontés

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of earthy lemon and marzipan. Firm, zingy acidity from entry to finish on the medium full palate which yields lemon zest, concrete block, and citrus rind. Finish is moderate and lemony. This full-bodied style of Torrontes is an excellent foil for hearty seafood or pork dishes: a perfect white counterpart to Uruguay’s signature red variety, Tannat. Drink now through 2025 or a little beyond.

Star bright yellow. Enticing nose of citrus rind and waxy marzipan. Zingy firm acidity from entry to finish wrapped in medium full body and layers of lemon, lemon rind, lemongrass, and new white flowers. That traditional “pop” of lemon in the finish tells me that the 2020 vintage is back from the watery depths that 2019 wrought. Seafood (white flesh fish especially), salads, poached chicken, soft cheeses, or even light cream sauces will shine in combination. It would make a refreshing sipper on a moderately arm day as well. Drink now through 2022.

First wine from Uruguay. A nice surprise- viscous, vibrant acidity, green fruits. Lively.

Medium acidity, chalky finish, floral notes

Medium body, dry, tasty

Very crisp, slight mineral ending

Black cherry spice with slight dry finish.

Just a touch sour

Loved this wine from Uruguay

It truly did not work for me. Opened this while visiting friends and family while away and no one finished the glass of wine. It was quite bitter. It may have gone bad but no way to tell. I won't be going back to this one.
