More pure cassis, graphite, violets, and lead pencil notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnifica, a rich, medium to full-bodied, impeccably put together red from this estate and winemaker Julien Fayard. Opening up beautifully with time in the glass, it has a classic, round, sexy 2019 mouthfeel, velvety tannins, background oak, and a great finish. It’s a clear standout in this lineup and will evolve for 15-20 years.
