MANGUS Coloradas, Cochise’s father in law and
brother in arms Leader of the Mimbres Clan of
Apache
43%, Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11%
Merlot , 9% Cabernet Pfeffer, 3% Petite Sirah
MANGUS Mangus was one of the more interesting
projects at our winery. As we set out to create a
Super Tuscan blend, we quickly found that our
components were way more pretty, delicate and
feminine than we thought they were going to be.
Rather than trying to force the “Super” template
on these wines, we came to embrace what came to
be a very food friendly, red fruit driven, perfumed
Sangiovese, Cab and Merlot blend. The Sangio
came 100% from the middle aged block at ASV. This
component was loaded with red cherry fruit, great
acid and a pretty, flowery nose. The Mixed Cab
batches were lighter than your average Bordeaux but
still added light spicy green and earthy notes. The
Merlot came from exclusively old vines on the site,
only yielding 1 ton per acre in this vintage.
The wine itself is medium to light bodied Sangiovese
based Italian style wine with ample bright red fruit,
cardamom spice and creamy vanilla bean tones, hints
of dried rose petals, dried berries and mild notes
of earthy leather on the nose. Light grippy tannins
backed by firm, lush acidity lead to a concentrated
dried fruit finish. Great with food and should age well.
