Gran Linaje, Torrontés 2009. Not the best from Etchart Winery





Gran Linaje, Torrontés 2009, By Bodegas Etchard, USD 16.

Nice Torrontés from Cafayate Valley in Salta (Northwest Argentina). Lavander sniff that opens up white flowers ,jasmin, rude plant and a soft hint of citrus. Sweet palate, nice but weak acidity ,unusual for a Cafayate´s must say. Quite thin with an edge of bitter evolving and really gentle. Grape fruit and a crispy kiwi very delicate. I´ll go 88 points with very good value.Not a wide and strong Torrontés usual from Cafayate´s.
