Trivento Malbec 2022, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina: Trivento Private Reserve 2022 is a great value Argentinean Malbec at $18. Dry, medium-plus-bodied and vegan-friendly, it is as enticing on the nose as it is on the palate with fresh violets, fine herb, fennel and brambleberry aromas and flavours with a subtle spicy and dark chocolate finish. Tannins are chalky-textured and elegant. Enjoy it with chops from the grill through 2028. Drink: 2024-2028. 38142 14.50% D 750 mL  $18.00 Score: 92/100.
