The 2019 La Magdalena is a 60/40 split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, all from Oakville (near Dalla Valle) that was brought up in 50% new barrels. It's another elegant, complex, medium to full-bodied effort from Erickson that has a deep purple hue, loads of floral, incense, tobacco, and spicy nuances, fine tannins, and a great core of red and black fruits. It picks up some classic Oakville iron and darker nuances with air and is perfect for enjoying over the coming 15 years.
