Wine Review: I recently went to a wine tasting with winemaker Susanna Balbo pouring her wines. My favorite wine was the 2001 Brioso for $45. That wine was Excellent, but is all but gone. So I thought I would tell you about my second favorite wine, the 2003 "Expresivo" under the Ben Marco label. This rich dark purple wine has a real big berry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is extremely rich and fruit packed. This wine is intense and not for the faint of heart!! The finish is extremely dry and very long. I scored this wine a 91. I’m sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. – Ken
