Viña Alicia 2011 Tiara White (Luján de Cuyo)

Country: Argentina / Tiara
Variety: White Blend Mendoza Province
Winery: Viña Alicia / Luján de Cuyo

This is pricey for what you get. It’s a blend of 50% Riesling with 40% Albariño and 10% Sauvignon, and frankly it smells a bit oily and stalky, while the palate is soft and the flavors suggest underripe green melon and apple. On the finish, it’s a bit green.
