McManis Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl

McManis Family Vineyards is a family-owned wine producer based in Ripon, a town near Modesto in California's Central Valley. The estate has numerous vineyards stretching across the Central Valley and comprises some 526 hectares (1300 acres) of cultivated vineyard in the River Junction AVA – one of California's smallest. The McManis family successfully petitioned the US government for the recognition of River Junction's appellation status in 2001 and today they remain the sole producers in this AVA.

After 7-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the resulting wine was pressed and finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged on new and used French and American Oak for 4-6 months.

Dark garnet in colour 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.
