Mann Cellars www.manncellars.com
with winemaker Mike Mann
The first wine grapes were planted in 1982. By 1994 the
first Merlot block was harvested at Mannstand
Vineyards
under the careful handling of the
Mann family. They learned about fruit thinning and harvested, always seeking
the
best way to produce the best
grapes. Now they offer the finest wines from the finest grapes.
