Cueva de las Manos 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Luján de Cuyo)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Spirited and young upon opening, with jammy red-fruit aromas. It keeps a slightly candied character across the palate and onto the finish, with mocha, pepper and raisin flavors. In the end it is plenty ripe, with medium tannins and a solid structure. Not complex, world-class Cabernet but it more than does the trick.

Cueva de las Manos 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A foxy-smelling, juicy, jammy Cabernet with wild berry and sweet oak aromas setting up a forward-feeling palate with plum, berry, sweet oak and resiny flavors. Presents itself as balanced and above average but doesn’t go beyond that.

Cueva de las Manos 2007 Old Vine Reserve Bonarda (Luján de Cuyo)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A nice, colorful, jammy wine with tons of raspberry and blackberry essence. It’s very fruity and jumpy, with a rubbery, bouncy mouthfeel that supports honest but mild tannins. Not terribly exciting, but it delivers exactly what it should: color, fruit and spunk.

Cueva de las Manos 2010 Reserve Old Vine Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Fruity up front, with cherry cough drop, smoke, rubber and black plum aromas. Feels forward but resiny and creamy, with cocoa, vanilla, sawdust, plum and berry flavors. Juicy but drying and acidic late, with a lasting woody impression.

Cueva de las Manos 2010 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Granular and punchy upfront, with heat and animal fur aromas on the nose. Settles with airing, revealing a heavy but solid palate with plenty of oak and candied red-fruit flavors. Falls off on the finish, with mint, resin and herbal notes.

Cueva de las Manos 2007 Reserve Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- $15
Huge in color and extract, but also a little childish. The nose has gumball, berry jam and a touch of volatility, but after things settle it rests on bold black fruit. It’s not overly rich or sweet, and the feel is sort of sinewy. Seems more about size and color than refinement and polish.
