| TASTING NOTE: Magna, Santa Julia's most ambitious wine, shows the firm's change in style. What was, in vintages past, primarily a concentration of black fruit flavors and new wood, today is radiant in red, juicy fruit. Cabernet sauvignon (50 percent of the blend) provides the slightly herbal notes and firm tannins, while malbec adds the red fruit and violet notes that make it so seductive.
