McManis Wine | Cabernet Sauvignon

 

We spent a long time choosing the wines we would sell, looking (and drinking!) far and wide for the best possible wine at different price points. We chose McManis as our "affordable" price wine.

Why do we sell it? There is simply no better wine at this price point... This is not a product you will usually find at your supermarket and it pairs amazingly well with meat. 

Most of the fruit for our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Lodi AVA, with the remainder coming from sustainable vineyards within the Valley. We generally harvest our Cabernet in late September. After 7-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the resulting wine is pressed and finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on new and used French and American Oak for 4-6 months.

McManis is Dark garnet in color with a bouquet full of blueberry, blackberry and black cherry notes and a hint of smoke. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy black currant and black cherry flavors, it finishes with rounded, creamy tannins and a hint of mocha.
