A ripe, brooding nose with a subtle peppery lift from its deep core of black fruit. Plenty of fine, dusty tannins charged with fresh acidity and rich, concentrated fruit on the full-bodied palate. Long, flavorful but fresh in finish. Malbec and cabernet franc. Fermented in foudres and aged in barrels, both new and old. Drink now or hold.

The 2022 BenMarco Expresivo combines 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Franc from the Uco Valley. Purple in hue, it reveals floral and enticing ash notes against a subtle cedar layer. Slightly balsamic with defined flavors, it also hints at camphor. Rich yet taut, it evolves with a chalky texture and firm mouthfeel. It's a well-crafted wine from the 2022 vintage.
