  • 2012 Bacio Divino Pinot Noir Lucie Bacigalupi Vineyard 93 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

    Taste with Kyle Janzen at FHE. 125 cases produced.
    Black rock, elegant raspberry. Fresh finish. Vegetal elements. Very complex and lingering on the back end.
    Stellar wine. Highly recommended. Love this fresh understated style of Pinot. Not your typical RRV though.

    Really nice Napa Cab at this price point. Dark cassis, leather, dark rock. Huge, complex anise.

  • 2011 Bacio Divino Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Cloudy's Vineyard 94 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Taste with Kyle Janzen at FHE. Janzen's own property.
    Stellar wine. A little more black fruit than the Missouri and Beckstoffer.
    Rock, savory meat, smoky, bloody brown spice. Really complex. Long long grip on the back end.

  • 2011 Bacio Divino Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard 93 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville

    Taste with Kyle Janzen at FHE.
    Brooding, Asian spice, anise, soy. Dark rocks. Less mid palate than the Cloud's or Beckstoffer.
    Great acidity and tannins that still need to come together. So much potential. Awesome first sample for my palate from this vineyard.

  • 2011 Bacio Divino Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard 95 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville

    Janzen's own vineyard. From the B Block of To-Kalon.
    So awesome. Massive but restrained lather, cassis, fig, anise, earth meta. Super long long finish.
    So royal with that slightly ripe yet also reductive quality of plum and dark cherries. Fantastic.
