Ben Marco Expresivo is a Malbec-Cabernet Franc blend from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made by Susana Balbo Wines from high-altitude vineyards in calcareous alluvial soils. Fermentation uses indigenous wild yeasts at a controlled maximum of 30°C, with no acidity adjustments, and the wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels, 70% new and 30% second-use. Pour into a large-bowled glass and let it breathe for 20-30 minutes.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh blackberries and blueberries over crushed violets and lavender, with mineral notes of crushed stone, chalk and subtle earthiness accented by cocoa powder.

Palate

Glossy and dark, with ripe plum and fig, black tea, mocha and bittersweet cocoa, Cabernet Franc herbal spine, sweet incense and raspberry ganache.

Finish

Long and focused, with finely grained tannins, persistent violet and dark fruit, pepper tree spice and a chalky mineral undertone.
