The 2017 McManis Family Vineyards Zinfandel is a dark purple wine

with warmed plum and black currant confiture laced with worn cedar

The year in used oak has rounded off the rough edges

From its enticing bouquet to its layers of lush

Vandal Wines Combat Marlborough Rouge Bottle:1 The 2017 McManis Family VineyardsThe Gonzo Combat Rouge is a rather unusual field blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Viognier which are co fermented with whole bunch fermentation. The results is a beautifully supple yet plush and ripe red wine with sweet, spicy raspberry and cherry fruit. Weve found it drinks best slightly chilled on a warm evening.
