BenMarco means “son of Marcos” in Hebrew. Pedro produces his wines as an homage to his father, Marcos who taught him how to plant, tend, and love the vineyards. The row of grapevines illustrated on the label is modeled after the beautifully manicured vines that Pedro looks after on the winery’s estate vineyard.
Beautiful deep red color with perfumed aromas of ripe black cherries, strawberries and roasted cocoa beans. This wine is full-bodied and incredibly lush for a young Cabernet. It explodes on the palate with red and black fruits, then shows baking spices on its way to a mouthwatering finish. Pedro blended in some Merlot for greater complexity and to achieve better balance. Pairs well with a wide range of foods including beef, sausages, spiced or grilled pork, veal, rabbit, medium-strong cheeses, and meat-based pasta sauces.

"This has good ripeness, with a core of blackberry and currant fruit backed by smoky toast and a lingering hint of tar on the finish. Drink now. 1,000 cases made. –JM" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator

"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 15% Malbec in the blend. The wine was aged for 11 months in 50% new French and 50% one-year American barrels. Dark ruby/purple-colored, the nose offers up fragrant baking spices, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with an elegant personality, succulent fruit, a lush texture, and outstanding length. It will evolve for 1-2 years and offer prime drinking from 2010 to 2018.
BenMarco is the label of Pedro Marchevsky, one of the more prominent viticulturalists in Argentina." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"It’s not as if this Cabernet is unique. It smells like many others, with jammy but generic red-fruit aromas that lean toward cassis and raspberry. The palate is a bit more complex than most, with herbs and black olive mixing with cassis and plum. Finishes with some lemony kick, good wood work and spice. With 10% Malbec, you can drink this wine right away. — M.S. (11/1/2008)" -Rated 89, Wine Enthusiast
