2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): The 2012 Magdalena is a limited (32 barrel) selection by Paul Hobbs. A blend of 73% Malbec and 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is vinified in an international style. Opaque crimson in color, it offers rich black currant fruit, Asian spices, vanilla bean and dark chocolate on a full-bodied frame. With low-to-medium acidity, complementary oak, nicely integrated alcohol (14%) and big silky tannins, it has excellent mid-palate density and finishes very long. This wine will have many fans by virtue of its beautiful fruit and soft textures...I am one of them! Drink now-2025.
