Rutini 2009 Trumpeter Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $12
Sweet, rich and clean, with molasses, fig and pure berry fruit aromas. Rich and saturated, but balanced, with blackberry, brown sugar and chocolaty flavors. Finishes fairly long, with spice and some complexity. A surprisingly good bargain Cab.

Rutini 2009 Trumpeter Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A big step up from the prior year; the bouquet is spicy, dry, minerally and offers attractive dried flower aromas. The mouthfeel is pure, easygoing and slightly creamy, while the flavors suggest dried raspberry, plum and vanilla for sweetness. Toasty and dry on the finish; elegant for Argentinean PN.

Rutini 2010 Trumpeter Malbec-Syrah (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
Opens with tire rubber, char and minty, smoky black fruit. Feels mostly fresh and bold, with blackberry, blueberry and coffee flavors. Just dense, sweet and spicy enough, with espresso bitterness to the finish. Composed and competent value red wine.

Rutini 2007 Trumpeter Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $12
Soft and composed bouquet, with fruit aromas you will recognize and nothing funky or strained. The mouth is complete and better than ordinary, with pure but simple cassis, blueberry and plum fruit. A hint of oak allows for coffee and mocha to grace the modest finish.

Rutini 2008 Trumpeter Malbec (Mendoza)
- $13
Floral aromas lead the show, backed by meatiness, minerality and wild sage and thyme aromas. The palate is fresh and young, with edgy but saturated plum and raspberry flavors. Turns more narrow and simple with time, but for a basic Malbec it more than gets the job done.

Rutini 2008 Trumpeter Malbec-Syrah (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Roasted and earthy on the nose, with leathery berry fruit lying underneath the surface. The palate has a good, thick, sturdy feel and flavors of black plum and raspberry that are a touch roasted and soupy. Savory stuff with more of a baked quality than outright vibrancy.

Rutini 2010 Trumpeter Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
Dry, spicy aromas work well with core raspberry and earthy notes. The palate has a healthy mouthfeel and honest flavors of brown sugar, toast and black cherry. Spice and tempered caramel flavors grace the finish, which has vigor and confirms the value factor and overall quality.

Rutini 2010 Trumpeter Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
Brushy and brambly smelling at first, then cleaner and fruitier as it breathes. Full and juicy in the mouth, with lightly toasted berry and plum flavors that register as regular but fresh. Long and linear on the finish.
— M.S.
