*7R* 2019 Favia "La Magdelena" Red Wine (Napa Valley, CA)

Weight: 7R

Varietal: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon  

Region: Napa Valley, California

97 points, Vinous 

The 2019 La Magdalena is a Cabernet Franc-based blend from Oakville Ranch. It possesses tremendous mid-palate weight and density. Tasting it next to the Cerro Sur is so fascinating, as both wines are Franc-based and yet completely different. Red cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and lavender build into the potent, sumptuous finish.
