Mcmanis

"Dark garnet in color, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon from McManis Family Vineyards is full of dark berry fruit, such as Blueberry, Blackberry and Black Cherry. Oak aging has contributed just a hint of smoke to the nose. The round, creamy wine delivers an abundance of the fruit flavors promised by the olfactory. The fruit and oak are well integrated and the complexity of the wine plays on the tongue long after the wine has been ingested."

"The 2011 McManis Family Vineyards Merlot is deep purple in color and is filled with pleasant scents of Strawberry preserve and fresh Cherry. Subtle notes of vanilla and caramel are contributed from the wines' time on oak. The bold yet round wine achieves a superb balance of fruit and oak flavors. The caramel notes promised by the olfactory loiter well after the last of the wine is gone."

"The 2011 McManis Family Vineyards offering of Pinot Noir is reminiscent of a light purple amethyst in color with a lustrous hue. Fresh Strawberry, Cherry pie filling and Black Cherry aromas, joined by Hazelnut and Vanilla bouquet, can be discerned. Bountiful sweet red fruit flavors are perceptible as the round silky wine passes through the mouth. Caramelized sugar and Vanilla, lent to the wine from oak aging, are perceptible in the finish."

"While very dark in color the hue is vibrant and youthful. The nose has an abundance of ripe black fruits, predominantly Blackberry and Boysenberry. Oak aging has contributed a pleasing mélange of rich creamy caramel and maple syrup scents, with just a barely perceptible waff of smoke. The dense viscous liquid delivers all of the flavors one would expect from the aromatics. Savory and luscious the finish pleasantly persistent."

"The 2011 Viognier from McManis Family Vineyards has a bright hue and is medium straw in color. This wine is filled with big, bright fruit aromas of pear and peach. The wine is viscous and creamy in the mouth. All the flavor promised by the nose is ampley delivered. Long after the swallow, the pleasing essence remains."

"The 2011 Syrah from McManis Family Vineyards presents deep purple with a bit of ruby color in its vibrant hue. Bright Cherry and ripe red Raspberry are the predominant aromas and the fruit is accompanied by a mild Vanilla as well. The flavor is full of the sweetness promised by the abundance of the fruit discovered by the olfactory, and the flavors turn a bit more to black fruits than one would expect, given the nose. The rich creamy texture coats the mouth, and the integration of fruit and oak is evident as the wine is swallowed."
