500 Manos SRP $20Today we are going to celebrate 75 harvests of 500 hands with 500 Manos. Bodegas San Valero launched this wine to pay tribute to the 500 winegrower family in the Carignan group. The hand has a fist full of dirt which is what makes the Cariňena so unique. The label represents the hands of the growers that work hard in the vineyards and winery with the unique terroir that they nurture to create the wine. Each of the 500 growers have a part in the bottle of wine.The wine is a blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.This wine is a powerful statement to the power of the Cooperative and the people all working together. I suggest decanting it for at least a half hour. It has a lot going on. Aromas of cassis, earth, violets and spice all come at you from the glass. A complex palate of black cherry, black raspberry, black plum. Basically lots of layers of black fruit with black licorice spice that explodes in your mouth and lingers on the finish. Think of that explosion as the 500 hands clapping as they finish up a successful harvest #75
