McManis Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

McManis Cabernet Sauvignon is a Lodi AVA red blend from McManis Family Vineyards. The blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 9% Petite Sirah and 5% Teroldego. Fermentation lasts seven to nine days on the skins, then the wine ages four to six months in stainless steel on a mix of new and used French and American oak. The nose shows ripe blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, cedar and chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied with juicy black cherry, black currant, vanilla, nutmeg and star anise. The finish has creamy tannins, mocha and toasted wood.
