McManis Pinot Noir (75cl, 13.5%)

McManis Pinot Noir is a Lodi-grown California Pinot Noir bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Sourced entirely from McManis Family Vineyards' estate fruit, the blend is predominantly Pinot Noir with small additions of Petit Verdot and Teroldego. The grapes undergo 6–9 days of fermentation on the skins before pressing, with the wine finishing fermentation in stainless steel tanks; small proportions of Petit Verdot and Teroldego are blended in to add structure and depth. Aroma: ripe red cherry and strawberry cream, raspberry and delicate violet florals, with a subtle thread of vanilla and cola. Taste: silky and fruit-forward, fresh cherry and strawberry, mulled plum and warm cinnamon at mid-palate, vanilla undertones. Finish: clean and lasting, with lingering cherry and a whisper of baking spice.
