Anyone gotten around to this one yet? I Actually had one of the restaurant clients give a bottle to taste. So I'm opening it tonight. We'll see.

I guess not.....
Medium to medium/full body; nose has red fruits, some wet barnyard earth and a touch of cola. Palate has much of the same. Good concentration; acidity shows itself on the mid-palate. Medium length finish.
Over some time (about 2 hrs), some caramel notes came out on the nose and palate. The wine got much, much better over this time. It also has picked up weight. I highly suggest decanting this for awhile. Good QPR for under $20.

How does it compare to previous years in your opinion?

Hi Eng,
I've no idea... This is the first I've tasted from this producer. Wish someone else would chime in with a comparison note....

sorry I'm late to this party, been busy!
I like the 05 Cab from them a lot.. I found it a touch light but fruit forward and invitingly drinkable with nice bright cab flavors... This was 3-4 months ago, I had a few of these...
i liked it better than the 04, which I tried last year.
Gonna pop the 05 McMannis in next couple of days and I'll post my ever-inspired opinion.
