Score 87/100 · Drink 1998-2012, Robert Parker, Dec 1997

The dark plum-colored 1994 Magnificat is tightly-knit, revealing abundant toasty, smoky oak in the nose, along with jammy prune and black currant fruit intermixed with weedy tobacco and cedar. The wine is medium-bodied, with moderately high tannin, new wood (perhaps excessive), and a sweet, rich, long finish. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, this wine will benefit from another 1-2 years of cellaring, and keep for 12-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-7111; Fax (707) 963-7867
