Franciscan Estate Magnificat 2013
Region: Napa Valley, California
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 90.0

Deep scarlet color.  Dark cherry, plum, baking spices, and coffee weave into a complex aroma.  The wine opens with ripe plum and black currant. The impressive structure is readily apparent in a dense, full body with refi ned tannins. The extensive finish blends cassis with anise, tobacco, cocoa, and vanilla.
