Winemaker’s Comments
Our 2002 Mankas Cabernet Sauvignon offers a unique perspective of the Mankas Hills wines. The majority of the grapes, making up this blend, came from the younger vines of our vineyard and were harvested in late September. The wine was aged for 18 months in a mix of French, European and American oak barrels. It displays a big fruit profile which harmonizes elegantly with round oak aromas. This wine partners remarkably well with food without overpowering your meal.
