Trivento 2002 Golden Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Golden Reserve
Variety: Malbec Mendoza Province
Winery: Trivento / Mendoza

Concha y Toro’s Argentinean branch makes this heavyweight wine, which goes heavy on the oak, toast and horseradish. It’s opaque in color, with monster tannins backing plum and blackberry fruit. Finishes hot, peppery and short, but with a lot of texture.
