    Beautiful deep purple color with aromas of red fruits and some oak. Lush and penetrating on the palate with black cherry and cocoa flavors. A hint of sweet oak accompanies the soft tannins on the long finish. This wine shows why the Argentine people are in love with the Malbec grape. Pedro included a small amount of Syrah and Bonarda in the wine for greater complexity and to achieve better balance. Pairs well with a wide range of foods including grilled or roasted beef, spiced or grilled pork, veal, rabbit, medium-strong cheeses, or even meat-based pasta sauces. BenMarco means son of Marcos in Hebrew. read more...Pedro produces his wines as an homage to his father, Marcos who taught him how to plant, tend, and love the vineyards. The grapevine illustrated on the label is modeled after the wide-trellised vines that Pedro has planted on the borders of his vineyards (instead of unattractive fences).    (hide)
