There are certain regions and varieties of wine that I consider a gift to Reverse Wine Snobs — combinations that offer tons of delicious options under $10. Spanish Garnacha is one such example. Chenin Blanc from South Africa is another. And of course, Malbec from Mendoza is a third. And while there is a lot of Malbec to be found in this low price range, we’re all about finding the best.
We’ve been tasting this particular wine for years and while the quality varies, it always delivers good value. Let’s see how the 2023 compares.
The 2023 Trivento Reserve Malbec begins with an attractive aroma of plum, black cherry and black raspberry plus touches of sweet spice, vanilla, mint, tobacco and licorice.
The medium-bodied wine tastes rich and a bit spicy with an abundance of juicy fruit, primarily black raspberry, blackberry, plum and blueberry. A touch oaky at first pop and pour, it’s also fresh and balanced and features soft tannins throughout.
It ends with juicy fruit, spice and just a hint of tobacco on the dry, long finish. It was similar on day 2.
While it’s not quite as good as some previous vintages, it’s definitely still worth the $9 price. Buy a bunch and use it as your house red!
