"The hue of the medium dark purple 2020 vintage McManis Family Vineyards Zinfandel, displays all the attractive qualities of a young wine. Pleasant ripe red currants and fresh Strawberry immediately come to mind, while after some contemplation caramelized sugar and toast become incontrovertible. The savoury bright red fruits are enveloped in the succulent, juicy wine which possesses soft, supple tannins."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Sweetly ripe and perfumed on the nose with Black Doris plum, floral, cedary oak and subtle spice aromas, it's gorgeously ripe and fleshy in the mouth displaying excellent fruit intensity backed by silky texture and smooth tannins. Medium-full and instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2026."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Aromas and flavours of dark cherry and plum, some boysenberry jam and suggestions of five spice and violets. Youthful, ripe, fruity and fresh. Contrasting acidity and tart fruit flavours ensure the wine is balanced, youthful and interesting. Fruit favours mirror the bouquet, there’s some very mild oak flavours with a touch of clove and vanilla, easy tannins and medium+ acidity. Balanced and well made, ready to drink from 2022 through 2026+."
90/100 & Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast (2020 Vintage)
"This full-flavoured and appetizingly tannic wine offers generous toasted oak and grilled meat aromas. The palate boasts good, pure blackberry and raspberry flavours and a mouthfilling sense of concentration."

"McManis 2020 is a Zinfandel-driven red blend with splashes of Teroldego and Petite Sirah from sustainably-grown estate grapes from the Lodi wine region. Dry, full-bodied, juicy and delicious with ripe plum, wild strawberry, dark berry, vanilla, smoky, toasty oak spice flavours brilliant on the palate. Pour with pulled-pork sliders."
