Winery review: The 2013 Trivento Amado Sur Malbec begins with an aromatic and enticing nose that grabs you as you pour the first glass. The primary aromas include red and black berries, baking spice, a bit of licorice and even a hint of chocolate. Tasting the wine reveals lots of rich, luscious, delicious fruit. This wine has a really wonderful mouthfeel with flavors of dark berry and nice layers of spice. It ends with a long, fruit filled finish with dry grippy tannins.
My review: This wine was great! It had a rich, dark and full bodied velvet-purple color which was quite inviting. On my first whiff I picked up strong smells of tire rubber with a lot of earthy undertones mixed in. It tasted fantastic though. The Trivento was smooth and velvety, and even a little chocolaty. The main taste I could pick out were dark berries, which I think paired well with the nose of this wine.
I had this wine roasted duck, collard greens, and squash.
