This wine shows complete harmony between color, aroma, flavor and taste. Utilizing Paul Hobbs’s best 31 Oak Barrels selection of Malbec; which is characterized by an intense red with notes of violets and plums, with sweet tannins. The Malbec is combined with a touch of the winery’s best Cabernet Sauvignon in order to ensure consistency. Ripe, juicy raspberry fruit, with lovely boysenberry and plenty of vanilla, spice and chocolate shavings, come through on both the nose and palate. Magdalena is an elegant Argentine red blend.

James Suckling (94 Points):
"Blackberries and blueberries with lots of coffee and lightly toasted oak. Opulent aromas to say the least. Full-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. 60% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 10% syrah. Give this three or four years to come around. Try after 2024.”

Wine Enthusiast (94 Points & Editor's Choice):
"This wine's elegance and balance were a pleasant surprise, given the warm vintage. The nose starts with chocolate-wrapped berries and dates. Smooth on the palate, this savory blend is made with 60% Malbec, 30% Cabernet and 10% Syrah. It has plenty of red- and black-fruit flavors followed by dates, cumin, thyme and integrated notes of baking spices. Good acidity elevates the experience.”

Decanter (90 Points & Silver Medal – 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards):
“Alluring dark berry and wild, sweet spice aromas; toasty oak and smooth tannins on the palate.”
