- Drew - 02-22-2004 Another WOW!!!!Thought I'd try the Merlot since the Cab was soooo good. It's all that and a bag of chips. Dark ruby/purple not opaque. This wine is all about dark plum, cherry and chocolate. Just a beautifully made, fruit forward style merlot with a very long finish, which seems to be the calling card of McManis. It's completely in balance with acidity and soft tannins. Another case buy for me. 14%Alc/vol. $8 by the case. Drew - winoweenie - 02-22-2004 After trying the 02 Cab I entered a blanket order for all 4 reds. WW - Drew - 02-22-2004 Cab, Merlot, Syrah and what is the forth? Drew - Thomas - 02-22-2004 Chardignon? - winoweenie - 02-22-2004 Zinfandelish.WW - Innkeeper - 02-22-2004 Drew, that's "fourth." - mrdutton - 02-22-2004 Or, maybe, 4th. (Saves the embarassemtn of not speling it corectly.) - Drew - 02-23-2004 Geez, now I'm not only understanding WW's posts but I'm writing like him.

Jeff also makes an upscale wine under his own "R" label. |
