McMANIS FAMILY VINEYARDS ZINFANDEL 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The McManis Family Vineyards Zinfandel is a dark purple wine, loaded with notes of ripe red currant, strawberry, caramelised sugar, and toasty oak. The savoury red fruit on the palate leads to soft, supple tannins and a smooth finish."

90/100 Tonya Pitts, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"This wine is fresh, zesty, with aromas of orange, cranberry, mulberries, red plums, mulled spices, allspice, clove on the nose. The palate is confiture blackberry, strawberry-rhubarb, red currant, dried potpourri, blood orange zest, cardamom intertwined with silky tannins and a dry finish."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Rich and opulent, the wine shows dark fruit intensity, vanillin oak, cocoa and cake spice aromas on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and velvety texture, wonderfully complemented by plump mouthfeel and beautifully rounded tannins. At its best: now to 2030."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"A classic bouquet of ripe red berry fruits and tart cherries, a mix of baking spices and soft fresh meats highlights. Youthful with a decent intensity and attractive fruit-led qualities. On the palate a dry wine with spice and impact from tannins and acidity alongside a core of red fruit flavours and five spice qualities the mirror the bouquet. Very easy to roll around the palate and swallow with best drinking from 2023 through 2027."
