Weekend wine with parents continued. I didn’t 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 “Cabernet devotees as well as those who appreciate artful blends can enjoy.” I agree 💯. My mom describes this wine as being “delicious” — 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 Beckerstoff’s 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. — 2 years ago
Reminds me so much of the 2013 Janzen Cabernet I had a couple of weeks ago. At 1/3 the price it’s a good deal but comes across a little sweet. — 7 years ago
Jammy? Disappointed. — 7 years ago

PnP. Dark red color. Dark cherries and rustic throughout. Had a little baking spice and some cedar. High quality, but the higher alcohol was a detractor. Lovely texture. — 7 months ago
