FAVIA Red Wine, Napa Valley ‘La Magdalena’ 2023

The 2022 Opus One is a striking and memorable wine. It begins with an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and juicy black plum, layered with delicate floral tones like violet and fresh blossoms. Nuances of pipe tobacco and herbal notes—especially sage—add depth, while touches of spice and subtle hints of graphite and crushed stone reflect its underlying minerality.

On the palate, this Cabernet shows a graceful balance between richness and precision. Its medium-to-full body carries a polished texture and a core of ripe, slightly sweet fruit that feels both dense and energetic. Bright acidity lifts the wine, adding freshness and complexity while maintaining harmony from start to finish. The finish lingers with echoes of dark fruit and stony minerality.
