Trivento 2008 Eolo Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- Editors' Choice
- $79
Eolo is apparently on the upswing in just its 3rd incarnation. The nose is deep and sweet, with licorice, rubber, lemon peel and tobacco to go with bold berry aromas. Shows immensity and structure in the mouth, with layered blackberry flavors and creaminess. Fades well, with tobacco and leather gracing the finish. Drink now through 2014.

Trivento 2003 Golden Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)
- $20
After a few years of stumbling around in Mendoza, this Concha y Toro project seems to have found its way. This wine, albeit oaky, is full of dark fruit, dill and toast aromas. The palate is balanced and tight, with firm tannins and plenty of black cherry, plum and coffee flavors. Toasty and lasting. Shows a lot of power and purity.

Trivento 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
A lusty value made right. The nose issues black cherry, cough drop and cassis aromas. It’s concentrated and balanced, while flavors of black cherry and cassis follow the nose. A mild tannic burn and chocolate on the finish tell you it’s good and can go with any meat, from burgers to a quality steak or roast.

Trivento 2008 Golden Reserve Syrah (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Big and brooding on the nose, with blackberry, violet, coffee and mineral aromas. The palate is smooth, rich and silky, with sweet, pure, jammy black fruit flavors and a pinch of chocolaty bitterness for balance. Finishes warm and minty, with an added dusting of cocoa. Big and bold more than complex or elegant.

Trivento 2007 Golden Reserve Syrah (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Floral and big, with large-scale plum and berry aromas. The palate is grand and thick, with creamy vanilla flavors adding sweetness and width to meaty berry and plum flavors. Nothing out of the ordinary here; just lots of well-applied oak, serious fruit and body. Thoroughly modern red wine.

Trivento 2007 Golden Reserve Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- $19
A big, intense Malbec with giant black fruit aromas that veer toward medicinal. The palate is sizable and sticky, with grabby tannins bulking up sweet, ripe blackberry flavors. Finishes with mocha and creamy vanilla flavors. Chewy, broad and on the money.

Trivento 2007 Eolo Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- $79
Lively but also narrow on the nose. The feel is very fresh and juicy due to firm, bracing acidity that gives a tangy, lemony character to the wine’s dark-fruit core. Snappy, linear and crisp for a wine of magnitude and extraction. Some might say it’s sheering and acidic; others might call it ageworthy.

Trivento 2006 Select Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
Sweet blackberry fruit and minerally darkness give this Malbec a smooth, inviting bouquet. And in the mouth, it’s just as nice: light butter, juicy raspberry and plum flavors, and then dark spice on the finish. Among the best values in Argentina.
