Mannina Cellars Winery is Wine Enthusiast’s

Dec. 2014 Editor’s Choice Selection

90 Mannina Cellars 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley).

Of all the 2012 releases from Mannina, this is the most dense, dark and substantial. Cassis and black cherry fruit is set against a stiff streak of char and coffee, backed with firm, ripe tannins. The length and balance are just right for ripe fruit from young vines. —P.G.

88 Mannina Cellars 2012 Sangiovese (Walla Walla Valley).

Sangiovese is still rather rare in the Walla Walla Valley, but if this is any indication of the potential, it should become a distinctive and valued variety as the vines mature. Lovely aromatics of berry, spice, cedar and toast wrap into a pretty wine with flavors of light cherry, ash and a suggestion of underlying minerality. —P.G.

90 Mannina Cellars 2012 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley).

Only two acres of Syrah are planted at the estate vineyard, which is a shame, as this makes you wish for much more. Just in its 4th leaf, the vines are already producing fruit with clear and complex varietal character. Bacon fat, smoke, licorice and a floral lift all come through on the nose.  These flavors follow to a medium-bodied palate with proportionate structure and some persistence through the finish. —P.G.
