Unusual Ribera del Duero single varietal from some very old Bobal vines found amongst the area’s predominant Tempranillo. Native to the Utiel-Requena region in Valencia, Bobal is a rustic and quite underrated variety known for its big compact bunches and high yield, traditionally used for bulk wine production. In Ribera del Duero, where it is known as Valenciana, it was traditionally used to add color and structure to blends, but rarely vinified on its own. Taking its name from the local expression “Alma de Cántaro” (loosely translated to fool, naïve) represents Magna Vides’ heroic attempt to reclaim Ribera del Duero’s lesser-known and disappearing varieties. Fragrant. Herbal, balsamic notes. Somewhat citric, acidic finish. — 7 years ago

Terra Mater, Magna limited reserve, carmenère, DO valle de curicó, 2015
Opened yesterday and it was too oaky and all over the place. 24 hours later it's settled and the wine is presenting itself in a much better way. It's even not bad at all! The nose shows blackberry, coconut, vanilla, oak, coffee, tar. The palate is very rounded with blackberry, cocoa and coffee notes, some width and almost a lactic touch. The tannins are well integrated now and leave a silky layer over the finish that goes on for a reasonable time. It's reminiscent of a nice Bordeaux except for that coconut scent on the nose. For about 11 USD in a supermarket nearby it's a steal! — 2 years ago
Needs some air time to fully show its complexity. Intense nose has freshly-sliced green apple and loads of slatey minerality. In the mouth there’s intense acidity magna-leving the crisp green apple and citrus pith fruit and mineral notes. Not the most concentrated or lengthy but a great value. — 2 years ago
Wine for the Seoul ❤️ — 4 years ago
Pop and pour. A bit over a year and a half since my last btl. On the nose: alluring as ever with blackberry, blueeberry, vanilla, charcoal. On the palate, this seems a little less vibrant than I would like: good acid and fruit up front, but falls of quickly on the mid with finely grained, but attenuated tannin on the finish. If this btl is any indication, this is on the downslope, but still drinking well. — 5 years ago
Bright with a peppery finish, pretty well balanced, great with fatty meats. A touch strong on the oak. — 7 years ago

This finally came together. This blend of Cab S, Merlot, San Giovese and Syrah is in a great spot.
Nose filled with sweet red fruit, ripe cherries and almond paste. The tanins are soft and the mouthfeel silky. Nice herb touch too. Paired with spaghetti with tomatoes/ preserved lemon/ honey/ cream sauce and that matched very very well. — 7 months ago
