WOW! One of the best pleasures in life is enjoying a spectacular wine at its pinnacle. Tonight was one of those nights. Dining with life long friends we enjoyed this wine. A dear friend selected this bottle as a backup for dinner. A definite case of Wally Pip taking the day off. This wine is not just peaking, it sings from the glass. Everything you expect from a classic Napa Cab with the style, elegance, and finesse of a First Growth in spades! You want aromatics, here is red and black fruits, cigar tobacco, lavender, anise, scorched earth, Asian spice…okay so we drifted into mid palate yummy flavors. A finish that lingers while dancing over the palate for more than 30 seconds, titillating the taste buds into pleasurable submission. Did I mention the WOW factor? This wine has it! Where can we find more?!?? What a spectacular selection! — 2 years ago

I’ve followed this wine since 2004. It was unbelievably good at that time (2002 vintage). Like most really nice wines that get popular, as the price goes up, the quality goes down. Sadly, that is how I’ve viewed McManis wines for about the last 10 years. Out of nostalgia I bought this Lodi Estate Grown Cab 2018 at Walmart for $11.99. Wow, I thought it was 2004 again. I’m going back to Wally World tomorrow to get more. This is GREAT wine at this price point. — 3 years ago

Today I have decided to go to my cellar and pull the 2012 Domaine Berrien Cellars Crown of Cab. One of the best winery's in Southwest Michigan if not the best. This is a Bordeaux blend of 40% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. What a wine from Wally Mauer and the Domaine Berrien winery.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, anise, violet, baking spice and crushed gravel.

On the palate I am getting black cherry, blackberries, green bell pepper, black currant, violet, black pepper, graphite and earth.

This wine is full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, medium to medium + acidity and medium + grippy mouthcoating tannins that leaves you with a long black fruit woodsy finish. What a wonderful Sunday wine. This winery in Southwest Michigan is my absolute favorite and can compete with any California winery out there. I hope everyone's weekend has been an eventful one. Please stay safe and healthy and have a wonderful week ahead. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago
