Tamari’s new releases include one white wine, the 2010 Torrontes Reserva. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it offers up a fragrant perfume of peach, mango, pineapple, and a hint of mineral. Crisp, just off-dry, and nicely balanced, it will serve well as an aperitif on a hot summer day. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; tel.

Light, clean aromas of melon and vanilla are pleasant and don’t overpower. The palate is lucid and medium in weight, with green melon and ripe apple flavors. Lime and green apple carry the finish. Works well; drink immediately. ——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 87
