Like the aromas, the flavors of the 2009 Mendoza Station Reserva Torrontes are mostly tropical fruit but combined with a bit of citrus. This is a dry, light-bodied white wine with marked acidity and a moderate flavor intensity. Like other Torrontes, it's best when drunk cold and shouldn't be allowed to warm up too much.

- Sushi: When paired with salmon and tuna sushi, the 2009 Mendoza becomes creamier and a bit more tart. This is an excellent pairing, making the Mendoa Station Torrontes a great choice of wine to have — and probably with sushi of all types.
- Guacamole: When paired with guacamole, the 2009 Mendoza becomes both more tart and more sweet. This is a very good combination that is worth trying but you should use fresh-made guacamole for the best results. I'm not sure that the the Mendoa Station Torrontes would be a good with pre-made guacamole from the grocery store.
