Vintage 2014 | Merlot dominated, my wife - who loves Merlot - says it is a dinnerwine. Good bouquet with cherries, vanilla, laurel and pencil. A supple taste with rondeur. Distinguished. Very nice drinking, paired with venison ragout and cheeseboard with tomme de Savoie. Diamcorked. — 7 days ago

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. — 3 years ago

Absolutely classic red-fruited Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir, my last bottle shared with our dear friends Diane and Dennis Sienko (he introduced me to St. Innocent in 1990 or so), faint browning, mature, but absolutely lovely!! — 4 years ago

Really a very nice Syrah. Probably 1-2 years past its perfect drinking window but still very nice tonight with a minimal decant. Perfect pairing with old-school steak diane. Lots of olive, some dark fruit, some earth, nice lifting acid, quite well balanced, long finish. — 4 years ago
