This is one of the purest expressions of Napa Valley today and exudes ‘Cult’ status. The 2010 Magrez shows superb concentration and density of magnificent fruit. Gorgeous aromas of black cherry, baking spice and sweet herbs waft from the glass. The palate, supported by plush tannins of statuesque proportions, is loaded with creme de cassis, ripe plum, and a dazzling finish. Thrilling now, it will continue to evolve for another 10 years in the cellar. BRAVO.
