Wine of the Week: McManis Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (CA) $10

Monday January 1, 2007
The McManis Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a Cab that will "wow" the most discerning guests, especially if you reveal the price paid/bottle! A deep garnet colored red wine with plenty of blackberry and cherry on the palate. You'll notice dominant tannin definition and even a bit of coffee on the finish. The perfect party wine!

Just opened a bottle. Yum. I am not the most discerning, but I know what I like.

After roaming the isles of the new whole foods market in Fairfax, VA, I stumbled upon this wine and purchased a bottle. Wow is right! I have tried many cabs at this price range and more - I am impressed!

This wine is excellent! Perhaps one of the best cabs at this price I’ve tried.

Searching our small wine cellar for a bottle to share, my husband and I found this random bottle of McManis(’04 Cab). Neither of us could remember buying it so we assumed it was a gift. After drinking it, we were convinced it was expensive. We got online to check the price & what a pleasant surprise! We still don’t know how it got in our cellar, but it’s a great wine for “anytime”.
