McManis 2002 Merlot (California)
- Best Buy
- $10
This label continues the value game with another rich, flavorful wine at an everyday price. It floods the mouth with juicy, sweet flavors of cherries and blackberries, with a round, opulent texture. Buy this beauty by the case, not the bottle.

McManis 2009 Pinot Noir (California)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A great value in a Pinot Noir. It’s dry and silky, the way you want a Pinot to be, and shows flavors of cherries, red currants, cola and bacon. It’s sharp in acidity, but nothing too problematic. Easy to find, with 36,000 cases produced.

McManis 2003 Viognier (California)
- Best Buy
- $10
Run, don’t walk, to stock up on this by the case. If you have a hankering for a fruity, spicy dry white wine, balanced with crisp acidity and with plenty of finesse, this is it. Tropical fruits, wildflowers, peaches, vanilla, you name it.

McManis 2010 Zinfandel (California)

McManis 2010 Petite Sirah (California)
- Best Buy
- $11
This is a soft, easy Petite Sirah, rich in blackberry and currant flavors, with a smoky, chewy meatiness, like the salty, charred edge of a roast. Bone dry, it offers a lot of pleasure for the price.

McManis 2010 Malbec (California)
- Best Buy
- $11
Nothing like an Argentine Malbec, but not a bad wine. It’s marked by high acidity that gives it a real bite, and exceptional dryness. Yet there’s a good core of blackberry fruit. A rich steak will tease out the sweetness.
