Tasting Note
Deep intense garnet color and ruby rims, mixed with hints of violet. Bright and shiny.
Clean and pronounced aromas of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry, currant) mingle with cocoa, coffee and spicy notes, supported by well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity. Subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon together with a mineral background. A plush texture carries bold, sweet flavors in this alluring red. Jammy, and full bodied with silky and ripe tannins. A fresh, concentrated palate with a long drying finish in a modern style. Great potential for ageing over the next 5-10 years.

A full-bodied red, with toasty hints of coffee, vanilla and smoke lacing rich flavors of baked black raspberry and boysenberry fruit, while accents of cigar box, bay leaf and iron provide a savory counterpoint. Plush and modern in style, fresh and focused throughout, with chewy tannins firming the spiced finish. Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. Drink now through 2030. 5,435 cases made, 280 cases imported.

The bright ruby colored 2019 Viña Magna Crianza is a modern Ribera del Duero with good ripeness and generous oak without excess, coming through as juicy and spicy, quite approachable and easy to understand by a wide audience looking for this clean and modern style of Ribera. It’s a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec that gives it a somewhat international and commercial style. It has a surprisingly high alcoholic degree at 15.5%. It’s juicy and heady and develops notes of vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate and espresso coffee with time in the glass. 65,231 bottles and 601 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2021 after 14 months in French oak barrels.
