Wine Review | 2008 Marquee Mendoza Grazioso
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
2008 Marquee Mendoza Grazioso ($8.99)
From Argentina's Mendoza region, the new vintage of whimsically named (and organic) Grazioso is now 100 percent torrontes grapes (it had been 40 percent in the prior vintage).
A fresh-tasting white with herbaceous notes and hints of muscat aromatics, it's quite dry and takes well to being served chilled. Ideal with spicy Asian foods, it's also a good accompaniment to any main dish that includes fruit as one of its ingredients.
The wine is stocked at Giant Eagle Sawmill, Grapes of Mirth, Tutto Vino, Twisted Vine, Weiland's and Whole Foods Sawmill.
