What helps it stand out is the concentration & cool flavor profile- bright green herbs, not soapy-great snap, acidity. And for under 10$....

Will probably never be a wine that I enjoy, but perfect example.

Flinty and gunsmoke aromas balanced by lees richness and hints of phenolic.

This classic unoaked Torrontés, made from grapes harvested very early, offers scents of lemon, fresh apricot, flowers and lichee and a salty, sappy, very dry palate impression that reminded me of Chablis. It should make a terrific aperitif but could also pair well with grilled fish or sushi. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2018)
