Trumpeter Reserve Malbec 2020 is a refined Argentine red that brings together ripe fruit, soft spice and the polished style for which Rutini Wines is known. Made from 100% Malbec, this dry red comes from Mendoza’s Uco Valley and is bottled at 13.5% ABV under cork. The producer positions the Trumpeter Reserve range as a more sophisticated collection within the wider Trumpeter family, with careful use of French and American oak to add depth and versatility.
In the glass, it shows a deep violet colour, immediately signalling the generous fruit character Malbec lovers expect. On the nose, cherries and plums lead the way, joined by a delicate mint note and a touch of vanilla from time in wood. On the palate, the wine is smooth and approachable, with subtle, fine and slightly sweet tannins that make it easy to enjoy while still giving structure to the finish. Oaks & Corks’ current product notes also recommend it with smoked sausage, roasted meats, spit-roasted lamb and classic Argentine dishes, which suits its ripe fruit and gentle oak profile beautifully.

Accolades
I could confirm that Decanter has a dedicated review page for Rutini Wines’ Trumpeter Reserve Malbec, Uco Valley, 2020, which verifies the wine, producer, vintage, region, grape and alcohol level. However, the score and full tasting note are behind Decanter’s premium paywall, so I cannot state a number without overclaiming.
I also found an independent Malbec report showing Trumpeter Reserve Malbec 2018 scored 92 points, which supports the label’s reputation, but that score applies to the 2018 vintage, not the 2020 bottle requested here.
Great
Very good wine
