2007

The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from Trazos del Autor was a fresh, light and citric, providing a great summer night sipper.

This bright, fresh wine is a sparkling wine made from Torrontés grapes.

Delicioso! This is a great wine from Paul Hobbs's Mendoza-based winery Viña Cobos.

For its price, Bodega Lurton's Torrontés is a good value wine. Although sweeter than a typical Torrontés, it still provides the aroma and is refreshing character typical of the varietal.

While Concha y Toro's line Casillero del Diablo has been a hot seller for value wines, this 2007 Reserve Merlot was nothing special: unbalanced and ultimately forgettable.

This wine seems to excel more in marketing than winemaking. The sleek bottle has a design of a growing grapevine emphasizing its root system.

This delightful wine is simple and elegant, a perfect summer value wine from the Colchagua Valley in Chile. The golden elixir balances the typical buttery chardonnay with some nice fruit flavors.

Torrontés is one of the most refreshing middle-of-a-hot-summer-day wines out there.
