"For this torrontés, Kaiken leaves its vineyards in Agrelo and buys grapes in Cafayate, the most prestigious area in Argentina for this variety. And what it produces there is a typical torrontés white with its floral aromas and ripe white fruits in an intense body with pronounced tannins and many fruity flavors. TThis is ideal for northern Argentina-style chicken empanadas."

"A torrontés with lots of freshness, tremendous fruitiness, and a focus on floral notes. A wine for chilling on a summer evening, even better with some chicken curry."

"Aromas of hand soap, baby powder, lychee and mango sorbet are mildly oily. This Salta Torrontés feels lively but typically oily, while salty flavors of lychee and green banana show heat and burn on a finish that veers towards soapy tasting. Michael Schachner"

"Lychee and papaya aromas are mild and less than forward. Lime-based acidity mixed with green grape skins makes for a clipped palate, while a briny citrus flavor marks the close. Michael Schachner"

"Tropical-fruit aromas of lychee and passion fruit come with a hint of lanolin. This wine feels citrusy, with fresh passion fruit and tangerine flavors that are not oily or gritty on the finish."

"This is typical, textbook Torrontés with tropical aromas of lime and orange peel. Citrusy acidity creates a refreshing palate feel, while tangerine, lime and lychee flavors conclude in a cleansing, non-oily fashion."

"Round, tropical-fruit aromas are plump and easygoing. This is a fat, somewhat oily Torrontés with flowery flavors of lime and papaya that turn pithy and a touch bitter on the finish. Drink right away."
yr. 2012 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Kaiken Terroir Series Torrontes" from the vintage 2012 on 01.01.2014 with 87 of 100 points.
"With pungent, hard-driving aromas of lychee, tropical fruits and scented baby powder, this is varietally correct on the nose. In the mouth, vital acidity affords cut, while the flavors are of tropical and citrus fruits. In general, Torrontés has its limits, but this example is fresh and well made."

"Dry spices, citrus and fresh grapes. The palate has grapey notes, a hint of bitterness and notes of grapefruit peel, clean and fresh finish. Lighter style but pleasant."
