Domaine Magdalena Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review
Winemaker Maggie Hedges’ approach to Cabernet Sauvignon is as unique as it gets. She biodynamically farms four acres of land in Washington’s Red Mountain AVA with her husband Christophe. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented using all native yeasts, aged for 15 months in barrel, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is one of the most distinct and versatile Cabs we’ve tasted. (FYI she also makes a Cabernet Nouveau that is a must-try.) This soft, earthy wine has layered aromas of leather, cured tobacco leaf, hay, cooking herbs, and roasted vegetables. The palate is approachable with notes of blueberries and blackberries, but with a slight tannic edge. Unique, balanced, delicious.
