So sleek, elegant and concentrated, but supple and silky. This melts in the mouth, with blueberries, cream, mocha, creme de cassis, chocolate and mint. Full-bodied, gently tannic, nicely balanced and tempting to drink now. Totally delicious and luscious.

Pure Magic almost always includes some Cab Franc-Cab Sauvignon co-ferments, but sourcing varies a bit from year to year. The 2022 Pure Magic includes fruit from Crane, To Kalon, Vine Hill Ranch and Melanson, and it comes across as unusually fine and elegant for the vintage. Raspberries, vanilla and a hint of bay leaf can be found on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is framed by fine-grained tannins that turn really silky on the lingering finish.
