From winemakers Juan and Diego Magana, the 2007 Dignus is an amazing wine for the price. A blend of 50% Tempranillo, 25% Merlot (the cuttings came from Bordeaux’s Petrus vineyard) and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, it smells like a top-class Pomerol from that tiny appellation’s plateau. Abundant scents of mocha, black cherries and blacker fruits jump from the glass of this flamboyant, medium to full-bodied, luscious wine. With lively acidity, rich, concentrated fruit, and a luxurious texture as well as length, this would be a heck-of-a wine for $50. At $21, it’s a steal! Drink it over the next 2-4 years.
Producer
Bodegas Viña Magaña
One of the leading producers in Navarra, Bodegas Viña Magaña was founded in 1968 by vinous pioneer, Juan Magaña. Today, the property extends over 100 hectares in the southern part of the region, lying just south of the Ebro River. Planted to one of the warmer sub-regions of the DO, the terroir here adds a distinct minerality and acidity to the blend. As one of the main reference points for quality in Navarra, Bodegas Viña Magaña produces a handful of exemplary reds. Dignus for example is a contemporary, fresh blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha that has the potential to age well. While Baron de Magaña is made from a selection of fruits from the oldest vineyards in the region, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo coming from the Castejón vineyard and Syrah coming from the Arguedas vineyards. In general, these bottles offer an outstanding quality for a reasonable price.
