"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is the best wine I have tasted yet from Somnium. Ample and resonant in feel, the 2019 packs a serious punch in both its fruit and tannin presence. Plum, leather, grilled herbs, tobacco, chocolate, and savory herbs all open with a bit of air. The 2019 is quite potent and savory, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced." - Antonio Galloni

It's a proper law of physics, the gravitational pull of magnums. A particular type of person leans towards magnums. These "magnum people" are simply more fun; how could they not be? The weight of a magnum, center stage at any table, conveys a message - an implied invitation to all those gathered. Magnums are the signature of "a gathering" which is different than other human interactions. A gathering is more profound, with magnums acting as the connector. We choose to see magnum people as the provocateurs of fun. They are the raconteurs, the stokers, the pied pipers leading their peeps to intrigue and grandeur.

So there is only one crucial question to ask: If you are a magnum person, what are you going to do about it? The answer: Bid to win this incredible assortment of magnums!
