Alma Negra 2007 Misterio Red (Mendoza)
- $35
Deep and lush, with aromas of blackberry, cassis and coffee. This is actually a better, more balanced wine than the winery’s Gran Misterio because it isn’t over the top and overoaked. Flavors of mocha, coffee and mulled berry are on the money, while the chocolaty finish is smooth. Drink now due to low acidity.

Alma Negra 2007 Gran Misterio Red (Mendoza)
- $80
Dark as night, with shoe polish, coconut and powerful black-fruit aromas. This is jammy, dense, soft and not for aging, but it does deliver a truck load of toasted coffee, blackberry, molasses and crisped brown sugar. Supersweet, rich and made to drink now.

Alma Negra 2007 Bonarda (Mendoza)
- $22
Like a good Bonarda should be, this is sweet, lush, dense and jammy on the nose. The palate brings big tannins and a slight rubbery mouthfeel, but the flavors of black cherry and wild berry are big, tasty and untamed. Full of power; needs airing upon opening but aging isn’t necessary. Includes 20% Malbec and 10% Cab Franc.

Alma Negra 2008 Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Quite good and honest, with full raspberry, cherry and tea aromas along with a hint of grassiness. The palate is dark and full-bodied, with toasty cherry and herbal tea flavors. Finishes long, full and several steps ahead of most of the competition. Drink now.

Alma Negra 2009 Sparkling Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Flowery and fresh on the nose, with lemon-lime aromas. The palate is smooth, not too demanding or rough, and tastes of papaya and green banana. It’s a dry sparkler with not too much flavor, but it’s honest, with a good bouquet and feel to it.

Alma Negra 2009 Sparkling Rosé Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Smells like old peaches and tastes a bit like tangy tangerine and grapefruit. It’s pithy, lumbering and fails to show any purpose, clarity or crispness. Too strange to recommend, but not undrinkable.
