Franciscan - Magnificat 1997 (750ml) Margaux Grand Cru Classe Malbec grapes are fermented inAppealing from start to finish. It's smooth and seductive, with pretty toasty oak, spice, currant and black cherry flavors. Mocha, raspberry and cinnamon come in on the finish, along with plush tannins. Great length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. *Top 100 Wines of 2001, Spectator Selection* (JL)
