Wine Review: This opaque dark purple colored Malbec opens with a spicy light black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and has a dry mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a light dusty black cherry. The finish is dry and lingers slightly. The panel would pair this wine with Kobe sliders. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Beautiful, deep purple color with perfumed aromas of ripe red fruits and roasted coffee beans. It is lush, full-bodied and penetrating on the palate with loads of chewy, currant jam flavors, bright acidity, and a touch of grip on the almost savory finish.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Ben Marco 2007 Malbec.
