The 2009 Manna is very pretty in this vintage. Layers of expressive fruit are nicely woven together in this pretty, understated wine. Hints of tropical fruit and spices linger on the finish. The 2009 is a hugely attractive Manna that impresses for its balance and overall sense of harmony. The blend is 50% Riesling, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Traminer Aromatico and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay is aged in oak, while the other grapes are aged in steel. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
