Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Malbec native to the long established vineyards of Lujn de Cuyo, where this variety flourishes in soil ideal to its cultivation. Conserving a vigorous red aspect, with violet tints and deep black hues. Aromas of red fruit, plum and cherry, combined with oak elegance. Velvety palate with a long and polished finish.

This Malbec conserves the style and nuances of the Mendozan terroir and should be paired with grilled or barbecued beef. It makes itself known alongside veal tenderloin with butter sauted vegetables with herbs and spices.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Compact and grapy up front, this is showing pure berry power on the nose. Lush and intense but also bright and balanced in feel, this Malbec is pumping out fleshy blackberry flavors offset by meaty notes. A full, mellow finish is deep and pure, with absorbed oak. Drink through 2020.
  • 91
    Ripe and rich, with a core of dark plum, kirsch and cocoa powder flavors. Well-structured, featuring medium-grained tannins and a long, sumptuous finish loaded with mocha and spice details. Drink now through 2020.
  • 90
    Dark and dense, rich and showing concentrated plum, blackberry and spice; balanced and intense, earthy and long.
  • 90
    The 2012 Malbec Golden Reserve showed restraint and elegance. It's a textbook example of ripe, powerful and commercial Malbec form Mendoza with the cherries, violets and spicy oak that you'd expect. The palate is medium to full-bodied, it's very tasty and has some grainy, slightly dusty tannins. It's impressive that they produce 240,000 bottles of this wine at this quality and price.

Trivento, South America
Trivento Winery Video

The Trivento portfolio of fine wines was founded in 1996 and is a true expression of Argentine wines, with more than 1,500 hectares of vineyards.

Trivento is named for the three winds that influence its vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina: the Polar, a cold wind from the south; the Zonda, a warming western wind sweeping down off of the Andes; and the Sudestada, or southeast blow, which brings freshness from the Atlantic and Río Plata estuary to the vineyards. At the foot of the Andes, strains of vines originating in the Old World are at home with terroirs of generous sun and careful hands.

Celebrated for its bold flavors and supple texture, Malbec has enjoyed runaway success in Argentina since the late 20th century. The grape originated in Bordeaux, France, where it historically contributed color and tannin to blends. A French agronomist, who saw great potential for the variety in Mendoza’s hot, high-altitude landscape, brought Malbec to Argentina in 1868. Somm Secret—If you’re trying to please a crowd, Malbec is generally a safe bet with its combination of dense fruit and soft tannins.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
