Puppione Family Wines 2021 'Magari' Red Blend

The Puppione Family Wines 2021 Magari Cuvée Red is a bold and spicy wine that delights the senses with its expressive character. Aromas of potent blackberry and black pepper captivate the nose, while the palate reveals vivid flavors of black cherries and grilled plums. Moderate tannins and a full body provide a firm structure, making this 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah an excellent choice to pair with rich proteins. This wine strikes a perfect balance between the two varieties, showcasing the unique qualities of each. Cleanly defined and full of life and energy, it reflects the winemaker's philosophy of allowing the place and varieties to shine. The nose transports you to a summertime golden hour in the Russian River, with hints of freshly picked Santa Rosa plum skin, lavender, and sun-dried grasses. On the palate, pure cassis and plum flavors intertwine with notes of tobacco, sage, and violet, creating a satisfying and ephemeral moment.
