A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2012 Magna Praemia has a deep garnet-purple color and expressive nose of warm blackberries, blueberries and black plums with touches of chocolate, menthol, dried Provence herbs and cloves. Medium to full-bodied and densely packed with layers of black fruits and baking spices supported by firm grainy tannins and lively acidity, it finishes with great length. 224 cases were produced.
