My first Torrontes I had at the Red Maple in Baltimore, and I actually did like that wine (not love it though). However, I have tried more wines from this varietal over the years, and usually like those that are also combined with another varietal.

With this wine, it takes a mature tongue to sit back and appreciate it. However, if one does take the time, one will find a decadent ambrosia with peach, apricot, some citrus, and maybe even some guava. I like this wine, and think that it would be great with many salads featuring citrus fruits, especially Mandarin oranges.
