Magus Cabernet Sauvignon NV

The Magus Cabernet Sauvignon, produced by Bodegas López Morenas in Spain, offers a bold and approachable expression of the Cabernet varietal with a distinctly international style. In the glass, it presents a deep ruby color with purple edges, hinting at its youthful, fruit-forward nature. On the nose, ripe aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum take center stage, accented by subtle notes of licorice, toasted oak, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins and balanced acidity, making it easy to enjoy on its own or with food. The fruit flavors are ripe and expressive, led by dark berries and joined by nuances of baking spice and a hint of pepper on the finish. A slight earthy undertone adds depth without overpowering the clean, modern style. Magus Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted for broad appeal—accessible yet structured, flavorful yet easy-drinking. It finishes with a lingering note of blackberry and a gentle tannic grip that keeps it grounded. Though non-vintage, its consistency across bottlings ensures a reliable and enjoyable experience for casual wine drinkers and Cabernet fans alike. It's a crowd-pleasing red that overdelivers for its price point. Ideally serve between 59°-61° F. Anticipated Maturity: 2025-2028.

The Magus Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile, fruit-forward red that pairs wonderfully with a variety of hearty, flavorful dishes. Its bold blackberry and plum notes, balanced tannins, and hints of spice make it a natural match for grilled meats such as steak, lamb chops, or barbecue ribs. It also complements rich pasta dishes like beef lasagna, spaghetti Bolognese, or mushroom ravioli with cream sauce. The wine's dark fruit and subtle oakiness pair well with aged cheeses such as sharp cheddar, gouda, or manchego. For a more casual pairing, try it with gourmet burgers, sausage pizza, or a charcuterie board featuring cured meats and olives. The wine's approachable structure and full flavor profile make it flexible enough for weeknight meals or weekend entertaining. Whether you're serving meat-lovers' favorites or savory vegetarian dishes, Magus Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and richness to your table without overpowering your food.
