McManis Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon California 2008

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon has a purple-red color with good depth and bright youthful hues. The aromas feature ripe blackberries, fresh boysenberries and plums. The wine's bouquet delivers cocoa powder, hazelnuts with a hint of smoke. On the pallet, flavors of succulent juicy olallie berries and creamy vanilla predominate and are joined by a waft of juniper. The flavors are supported by well integrated tannins that contribute to a long, smooth, and elegant finish.

A seductive red composed of complex layers of sweet cassis, ripe black cherry, mocha, roasted chestnuts, and brown sugar spice aromatics. In the mouth, rich, sensuous fruit and benevolent tannins exude the wine's friendly personality.

Pretty good for a ten buck red, this has proper varietal flavors of blackberries, cherries and oak, and is fullbodied and tannic. There's a rustic edge, but it will do fine with roast chicken or even macaroni and cheese.

A perennial customer favorite - and it's not hard to see why! Super-soft, amazingly easy to drink and yet packed with luscious blackberry and cassis flavors. Silky, smooth tannins round out the lingering, dry finish. All of this for under $10? No wonder it flies out of here!

Appealing grapey wild berry, plum and spice notes are full-bodied and complex, with flavors that linger. Drink now.

The addition of Petit Verdot gives this Cabernet Sauvignon something extra. Flavors of dark berries, blackberry, currant, tea leaf and eucalyptus, in addition to a smooth finish, make this a consistent value Cabernet Sauvignon.

An always-dependable Cabernet that delivers fresh flavors of black currant and blackberry, blanketed by shavings of milk chocolate and toffee.
