Wine Advocate | Rating: 87
A blend of 73% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, the 2000 Magnificat is a good commercial-styled wine exhibiting a deep ruby/plum color, and plenty of toasty oak, notes of melted licorice, chocolate, and black currant fruit offered in a lusty, straightforward, and satisfying style.

Smooth, rich and polished, with layers of currant, blackberry, cedary oak and spicy-anise scents. Very Bordeaux-like flavor profile, with balance and structure, finishing with firm, gritty tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. 25,000 cases made.

Deep cherry with tar and tobacco on the nose. Light tannins. A solid blend.

Enjoyable wine well balanced, good time to drink this one as it has aged a little quicker than I anticipated. Wish I had bought a few more.
