Manos Negras 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $15
Latex, tire rubber, sauciness, mocha and cotton candy all share the nose, while the palate is forward, a touch scratchy and filled with bold black cherry and plum flavors. Shows some toast and burn on the finish, and overall it’s a good Malbec with some mild bite and abrasiveness.

Manos Negras 2010 Pinot Noir (Patagonia)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A little hot smelling at first, but then it settles nicely on floral cherry and aromatic plum. Good in the mouth, with lightness of being and flow. Tastes of light oak, butter, strawberry and raspberry in front of a short but airy finish. Fresh and solid for the price.

Manos Negras 2008 Pinot Noir (Neuquén)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Mildly baked and raisiny on the nose, then more varietal in character in the mouth. There’s sweet and spicy cherry as well as brown sugar flavors along with good acidity and medium-bodied elegance that pushes the wine along. Basic on the finish, with a hint of lasting candied sweetness.

Manos Negras 2009 Torrontés (San Juan)
- $15
Pineapple and burnt hay are the key aromas, and they are followed by a sheer, neutral palate with sour apple and background pickled flavors. The finish is basic and a touch pithy, and overall the wine could use more of that vibrant, tropical character that elevates the grape.

Manos Negras 2010 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Smells different than most, with blueberry, carob and exotic sandalwood. Takes a dive on the palate, where it’s sweet, syrupy and flat, almost like prune juice. Along those lines, it tastes pruny, with chocolate on the finish. Struggles to achieve balance.

Manos Negras 2011 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is hard coated with a creamy plastic note and a milk chocolate scent. Overall it smells heavily oaked and artificial. It feels resiny, with sticky tannins and thickness, tasting of hickory and carob.

Manos Negras 2011 Pinot Noir (Patagonia)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Chunky cherry and earthy tea aromas lead to a supremely tannic and overbearing body, leaving a residue as it transitions to the finish. Flavors along the way include oak, vanilla, syrupy berry, plastic and creamy chocolate.
