The concentrated blueberry, black plum and cassis notes are supported by fresh acidity, with layers of wildflower, pepper and mineral expanding on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Dusty dark-fruit aromas are lusty and full of oaky notes including sawdust and chocolate. This value-priced winner is full, round, saturated and generous on the palate, where savory, resiny black-fruit flavors finish woody in flavor and firm in feel.

Trapiche represents the richness of diversity in Argentina. Trapiche's motto is "where there is soil, the sky is the limit" and this leads the brand to explore Argentina's extensive lands in search of new experiences. Since 1883, Trapiche has been located in Maipú, in the province of Mendoza, and is the leading Argentine winery in terms of production and exports, reaching over 80 countries. Since the beginning, Trapiche has understood the promise of viticulture in Argentina. Trapiche specializes in bringing out the best of each terroir and creating unique wines from each. This diversity is possible thanks to 3000 acres of owned vineyards and 300 independent producers who contribute their best grapes for the wines. Quality, innovation and diversity have always been the pillars that guide Trapiche's journey.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
