Maniña 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Rubber and black fruits carry the standard nose, then comes a zesty palate with upfront acids and related zingy berry fruit flavors. Despite a touch of scour, this brings freshness and a clean, tasty fruit level. Perfectly good for Central Valley Cabernet.

Maniña 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Light and brambly smelling, with leathery red-fruit aromas. Feels juicy and lifted but tastes tart, with medicinal flavors of spunky raspberry and sour red plum. Finishes with medium length and a minty, herbal aftertaste.

Maniña 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Aromas of hay, baked corn and honey suggest that this wine has lost or is fast losing its vitality. The palate is round and full, with honeyed, soft flavors of apple and grass. Finishes mushy, another indication that it’s on its last legs.

Maniña 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Muddled aromas break up with airing and fade from citrus and grass to vegetal and a bit dirty. The palate has gaps in it, while the flavors are a sketchy mix of bland citrus and mealy apple. Acceptable but not convincing.
