Manos Negras Malbec Stone Soil Select (San Carlos, Mendoza)
90 points & Year's Best Malbec ('10), Wine & Spirits:
"A friendly and approachable malbec, this wine's sweet scents transform into ripe, juicy raspberry and cherry flavors, lasting with soft, floral note. The texture is so soft that the wine seems to levitate. Versatile at the table, this will match anything from grilled salmon to a juicy cut of roast beef."
San Carlos has a very diverse soil profile, with a patchwork of sandy, silty and stony soils all present in the same vineyard. The stony soils contain a high content of surface stones – round rocks that are literally painted white with calcium carbonate. These patches of stony soil are very low in organic material and very high in mineral content. Their poor profile naturally brings down yields for exceptional concentration of aromas and flavors. Their rocky character imparts a stony texture to the Malbec wines. The Manos Negras Stone Soil Select Malbec is made entirely from select Malbec grapes from these patches of stone soils.

Manos Negras Pinot Noir Red Soil Select (Añelo, Patagonia)
The vineyard is located in a river bank that slopes down to the Neuquen river, with different soil textures up and down the embankment. There are patches of brighter red soils in the vineyard which are very low in organic material and very high in iron mineral content. Their poor profile naturally brings down yields for exceptional concentration of aromas and flavors. These red patches impart exceptional complexity to the Pinot Noir fruit. The Manos Negras Red Soil Select Pinot Noir is made entirely from select Pinot Noir grapes from these patches of bright red soils.
