| 2007 Contado Mankas Cabernet Sauvignon |
| The best grapes of our 8 year old vines, the unique attributes of the "terroirs" of our Suisun Valley vineyard and our passion for details in winemaking have all contributed in creating this 6th release of the 2007 Contado Mankas. This Cabernet Sauvignon continues to be our premiere wine in line with the tradition of excellence that characterized wine making in the medieval villages of the Piedmont region in Italy. |

| Winemaker's Comments |
| A unique balance of rich black and red fruit aromas and flavors, dressed in an elegant deep garnet color robe. Black cherries and plums blend with raspberries and blueberries and harmonize with caramel, figs, vanilla and eucalyptus tones. Peppery yet silky tannins combine in a pleasant body and lead to a long and elegant finish. |
