BenMarco Malbec '21

The Benmarco Malbec boasts a dense, opaque purple color. The nose is intense and concentrated, revealing layers of blackberry, blueberry, and dark plum, complemented by notes of mocha, vanilla, and a touch of sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with a rich, dense core of fruit supported by robust, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of black fruit compote and dark chocolate unfold with depth and warmth, leading to a long, persistent finish. Sourced from ungrafted vines in Mendoza's Uco Valley, this wine is aged in new French oak barrels, which contributes to its impressive structure and aging potential. Earning 92 points for its concentration and intensity, it demands hearty dishes like grilled steak, lamb, or rich stews.
