Wine reviews

2008 Bacio Divino Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen
Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard
Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar 92 Points
May 2011

Saturated ruby-red. Complex, deep aromas of cassis, espresso, graphite and violet. Suave and savory, with enticing floral lift to the cassis and black cherry flavors. There's a chocolate richness here like the other 2008 Janzen cabernets display but this wine is finer-grained and more perfumed. The energetic, mouthcoating, long finish features smooth tannins and a light touch for a wine with 15+% alcohol.
