California, USA
Recently, I was discussing wine reviews and tasting notes with a friend. She asked why couldn't wine reviews be more accessible, instead of only decipherable by those "in the know" - I paraphrase but you get the point.
I could not agree more, there is no need to understand what full bodied and bold means, or long on the tongue to simply enjoy wine. Why can't we say, "this tastes like wine flavoured Bakewell tarts, unless you drink it with a plate of spaghetti carbonara, then it tastes like feet and smells like armpits." At least then the unwashed masses, such as I, could understand what the hell the reviewer is going on about.
So, in that spirit, this wine is fruity and goes down easy. I believe that it would go well with bbq foods. It's really bloody tasty and when I have better cash flow, I will buy it again.
Debbie says, "I don't know, let me drink some more... No, no, it's fine I can have what's left, I'm still not sure... Pour a bit more please."

Tasted in Nov 2015 and feeling very young, keeping the elegant red fruit and acidity

Again another quality wine from McManis. Packs a punch without over drying the mouth with tannins.

Purple. Aromas of berries, molasses. Smooth tannins. Lingering notes of vanilla and caramel.
