The Magnus, a blend of 52% Tempranillo and 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, opens with high-toned red berry fruit and spice character, complemented by delicate notes of dried lilacs. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it layers dried fig and apricot fruit flavors with smoky minerals, molasses, and the herbal essence of tarweed. The wine finishes long, with an excellent concentration of flavors and a firm spine of racy acidity that keeps everything balanced and in check, making it a structured and captivating red.

A blend of Bordelaise varieties crafted to reflect the estate’s top-performing vineyard blocks in exceptional vintages. Aged 15 to 22 months in French oak, 28% new. Brighter than the Bergen Road bottling, this shows vivid blackberry and black cherry fruit, with fine-grained yet robust cocoa powder tannins that build toward a powerful, expressive finish. Aromatic spice and soaring personality underscore the wine’s purity and polish. Clean, dark-fruited, and beautifully structured—this is among the finest red blends I’ve tasted from New York State.
