2015 Favia, La Magdalena, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

RP95+ The 2015 La Magdalena comes from the Oakville Ranch vineyard. It is composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc aged 22 months in oak and another year in bottle. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sings of rose hip tea, menthol, wild sage and charred soil with a core of red and black currants, black cherries and cassis plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, very firm and solidly constructed, it has a great core of tightly wound, muscular fruit with loads of mineral accents and a long, elegantly layered finish. 279 cases produced.
