Domaine Magdalena Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750ML)

94 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The more Old World-styled 2019 Domaine Magdalena is a total pleasure on the nose, with an incredibly pretty blend of crushed cherries, wild strawberries, peppery herbs and hints of wet stone. It is soothingly round and juicy in style, yet still complex, with violet and lavender tones elevating its crisp wild berry fruits. The 2019 finishes wickedly fresh yet long and gently tannic, leaving nuances of tart blackberry and citrus as a crunchy mineral tinge lingers on. Tasted blind, no one would guess that this is a Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, and I mean that in the best possible way. (Drink between 2026-2036)" 10/25

95 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter: "A standout on Red Mountain is that this fresh wine is surprisingly raised in 100% American oak and 80% neutral. Fresh florals with spicy wild strawberries mark the aromatics. This is 100% own rooted vines from the Domaine Magdalena Vineyard, which was planted in 2005. Spicy red berries, salty blood orange, and a lingering spicy finish make this fresh and mineral-driven bottle an absolute delight. (Drink between 2025-2040)" 02/25
