Have you ever walked down the wine eisle and been completely overwhelmed? Where to start first? What would go good with my dinner? Is this a good deal or just cheap?
It is my duty to inform, review and keep you updated on everything from name brands vs. family owned, history, location and great deals on everyday wines.

Will you drink to that?

Conquista Torrontes

Greetings and salutations!

Today is the first wine review and the lucky brand is Conquista, varietal Torrontes (vintage 2010).

Conquista is an Argentinian wine more famous for it's malbec. The Torrontes itself is native to the Mendoza area in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The 2009 vintage won a silver medal at the New World Wine Competition in 2010. A bottle, on average, is around $6.99 (but it does vary from store to store)

Here are my findings.

-The wine itself has very little color to it; a slight golden sheen. It seems like it has a darker color, but that is from the bottle.
-The mouth feel is very light, smooth and clean on the palate.
-There is a slight citrus bite in the aroma and in flavor. A very light lime flavor. A slight tartness from the citrus flavors.
-There is a clean finish with just a little tartness in the aftertaste.

Overall, this wine wasn't bad. It didn't wow me, but I didn't hate it either.
I give it an final total of 5 out of 10.

Jusqu'à Demain
