WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES: Often colour is the first thing one notices in a red wine, but upon a first pour into a glass the ripe and fragrant Cabernet notes leap forward. Dark and sanguine in colour this Magna Praemia already delivers great rewards. While there is the typical spectrum of berry aromas, Cabernet Sauvignon typicity leads all the aromatics. Upon the first taste there is no distinguishing between a separate fore, mid, and back palate as the wine is seamless, generous, and broad. As the wine finishes, the back palate shows significant structure before umami notes from the French Oak give way to subtle hints of bourbon, ripe black cherries, and currants. This Magna Praemia will develop layers and complexity throughout its life in the cellar.
