Five generations of family farmers have strived to grow quality grapes with outstanding depth of flavor. Our winemaking team then crafts that fruit into character driven wines for everyday enjoyment.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of ripe blackberry. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy black cherry and black currant flavors, it finishes with well-rounded, creamy tannins and a hint of mocha and smoke.

We've enjoyed many of the McManis Family wines here at Reverse Wine Snob over the years, and it's always nice to find such a reliable producer with prices that are consistently around the $10 mark. Let's check out the latest vintage of the Cabernet.
The 2019 McManis Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a pleasing aroma of vanilla, dark berry fruit, licorice and lots of oaky spice.
Tasting the wine shows good dark and bright juicy fruit, loads of vanilla and nice touches of baking spice. Slightly sweet with soft tannins and a smooth mouthfeel, it's very easy to drink. Really my only complaint is that the oak influence could be toned down just a notch.
It ends dry and long with touches of tobacco and earth under the lingering licorice. Good enough and cheap enough to drink everyday!
