Winemaker's Comments
A tantalizing deep and intense ruby color adobes this 4th release of the Contado Mankas. Pronounced flavors of blackberry tannins and spicy aromas of bell peppers, eucalyptus and cinnamon combine with accents of plum, cassis and wild berries for a long lingering finish. The silky, yet complex texture and long fruit finish exemplify the grace and the power of the grapes from our vineyards.
