Trivento, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2008

Dec 22, 2009

By Michael Franz

 Although I didn’t find this wine to be quite as exciting as its Syrah-based stablemate, it is delicious and impressively concentrated, yet soft and approachable.  The fruit recalls dark cherries and berries, with very soft texture and an interesting backnote of licorice.  Pair this with almost any grilled red meat, whether red or white.
