Ben Marco Expresivo Mendoza Red Blend – 2004 – 9.0 – James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez
50% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 10% Bonarda, 5% Merlot; a rich and complex wine; a wine that speaks to it’s homage that could only come from South America – the Malbec and Bonarda give a distinctive quality; this wine gives black currant, blueberry, cooked cherry, plum orchard, a plethora of winter simmering spices. A nice expression to good taste.
¡Salud!
