Tasting Notes: This unique white blend is a sensory revelation. We wondered what it would be like to blend grapes from three high-elevation vineyards from across Argentina from three talented growers, and we were happily surprised. This baby is bright, fresh, and crisp with ripe white peach and floral notes in the nose. Honeydew rind, ripe apple and a hint of crisp lime explode on the palate, quickly followed by a complex and balanced finish. For food partners, we’re still pondering what food this wouldn’t go with, but for sure it’s a wine to keep in the fridge for all occasions between Easter and Halloween.

La Posta 2011 'Cocina' Blanco, Mendoza
Rating: 88
The current releases include one recommendable white wine, the 2011 Cocina Blanco, a blend of 70% Chardonnay, 15% Torrontes, and 15% Sauvignon Blanc fermented and aged in stainless steel. Aromas of white peach, floral notes, and a hint of tropical fruits (especially pineapple) inform the nose of a crisp, spicy, dry wine that is meant for drinking over the next 1-2 years. It is an excellent value.
