Amalaya 2010, Torrontes & Riesling, By Bodega Amalaya (Hess Family), USD 10
A blend from Cafayate Valley, Salta Province, Northwest Argentina.
A shoking white overexpressing a punch of grapefruit and rude plant with minimal if any other thing to tell. The palate barely gets balance although the sweetness,alcohol and acidity are out there well enough. Unfortunately this citric and herbal overexpression renders the wine easily saturable (probably a similar overexpression in a Chard from NZ is more balanced and likeable). An 84 point white somehow nice but unbalanced.
