Winemakers Notes
Within the 2003 Contado Mankas you will discover rich aromas of vanilla, black cherry, raspberry and subtle oak. Upon tasting the wine you will detect blackberry, cassis and a lingering spicy finish of clove and cinnamon. The color is deep red revealing complexity and elegance. Silky tannins and a velvety mouth feel make this a vibrant and refined wine.

Very earthy on the nose and taste after decanting for about 2 hours, medium body that stands up with peppery spice when paired with spicy food.
