The 2010 La Posta Cocina Blanco is an engaging white wine from Mendoza, Argentina. It is an interesting blend of 70% Chardonnay, 15% Sauvignon Blanc, and 15% Torrontes. Torrontes is a white wine grape that produces fresh, aromatic wines with moderate acidity, smooth texture and mouth-feel, and distinctive peach and apricot aromas.
And those aromas and that smooth texture and mouth-feel are quite discernible in this complex and well balanced wine. The wine is medium-bodied and dry with a crisp acidity and just a touch of spicy oak… but there’s plenty of liveliness from the Sauvignon Blanc and Torrontes to keep the Chardonnay’s buttery notes at bay.
Priced at about $13.00, this is a quality, food-friendly wine that won’t break the bank.
