Item No. 37658
winemaker's notes:

From each vintage we compose Magnificat, a red Meritage wine that best expresses the unique terroir of our Oakville Estate. Blending creates a harmonious wine which is ultimately more than each of its individual elements: Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, Merlot for suppleness, and Cabernet Franc for spice and aroma. Determining the exact composition of the final blend is an art form, making each vintage distinctive and unique.

Appearance: Deep ruby red.

Aroma: Cherry, black licorice, vanilla.

Flavor: Rich blackcherry, plum, chocolate, cedar and spice with rich supple tannins and a long finish.

Alcohol: 13.5%

oh my goodness, this was a fabulous bottle of wine and it was for such a reasonable price! I would recommend this bottle to anyone and everyone. I just had it two nights ago and i already have suggested to one good friend and bought a bottle for myself as well as another for my friend! A superior choice!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
