Weekend wine with parents continued. I didnβt have to think long when trying to decide what wine to bring for my short weekend visit. I picked Bacio Divino because it is always a crowd pleaser. The wine is described as being one that βCabernet devotees as well as those who appreciate artful blends can enjoy.β I agree π―. My mom describes this wine as being βdeliciousβ β winner.
Bacio Divino is lead by the husband and wife team, Claus and Diane Janzen. This wine is their flagship wine that uses Cabernet sourced from Beckerstoffβs Heritage Oakville and Rutherford vineyards. The wine also includes a small amount of Sangiovese and Merlot.
2016 details: 94% Cabernet, 5% Sangiovese, 1% Merlot. 14.6% ABV. Kirk Venge is a consulting winemaker. 215 cases. β 2 years ago
Reminds me so much of the 2013 Janzen Cabernet I had a couple of weeks ago. At 1/3 the price itβs a good deal but comes across a little sweet. β 7 years ago
Jammy? Disappointed. β 7 years ago

Dare I coin a phrase for this 2018 wine? Hedonistic. Over the top but well done. β 10 days ago
