  Malbec with a little pick-up from cab franc. Interesting and absolutely well executed. New world without just being a show of force which I was wary of after reading the bottle.

  South American “Bordeaux Blend” with Malbec substituted for Cab Sav. Nice complexity of palate with blackberry and a hint of peppery spice. Absolutely going to buy this one again

  WOW!!! Confiture aux fruits noirs, épices, calcaire, caoutchouc...quel nez intense ! En bouche : bel extraction de fruits rouges...noyau de cerise même. Tannins sont fins...un vin rond et riche...très concentré. Délicieux ! Prêt à boire.

  with 17% Cab Franc. Medium nose shows dried violets, graphite, dried herbs, black plum, light pepper. Palate more expressive in the fruit, blackberry, a little jammy in a good way, hint of sorghum, black plum, sweet spice, baking spice. Pretty solid structure with medium plus tannins and alcohol. Drinking a little young but fun wine and worth your time.

  The Benmarco Expresivo is an intriguing wine made by Dominio Del Plata. Their goal is to make one of the finest Malbec blends that is built on a well structured foundation of bright acidity and firm tannin that historically has improved by trying different percentage blends of up to 5 different grape varietals. The 2015 at 83% has one of the highest amounts of Malbec and a rarely found blend of just Cabernet Franc for the remaining 17%. Overall, an excellent grafting of New World richness on Old World structure.
