Dominio Del Plato Ben Marco Malbec 2005


Price:
$17.99
SoG Wine Score: 87
Avg User Wine Score: --
Region: Mendoza, Argentina


The Argentinian sun and crisp mountain air bring out the best in the Malbec grape, creating an earthy complexity with notes of berries and plums and a silky texture. The malbec grape makes a mild medium bodied wine, somewhere between a cab and a merlot. Malbec wines are definitely worth trying and this one offers a great taste and quality at a reasonable price. Makes a great complement to steak, chorizo, and other stronger flavors.

the ideal meal: would be heavenly with a chorizo pie, kind of like an empanada from Porto's bakery in Glendale.
