Producer: Bacio Divino Name: Pazzo Vintage: 2004 Region: Napa Valley, United States Price: ~ $30
The only thing better than drinking your wine is drinking somebody else’s. My friends Ryan and Rochelle brought over a bottle of Pazzo by Bacio Divino from the Napa Valley and it was excellent. I believe they received it as a gift for their wedding and were generous enough to share it with my wife and I on “Games Night 2009″ the highlight of which was Taboo.
The colour is clear but deep ruby red and the bouquet has deep notes of black and red cherries, spice and subtle hints of oak. Because this blend is predominantly sangiovese (with petite syrah, cabernet sauvignon and viognier) the palate too has an abundant dark cherry taste but also has smooth notes of spice and earthy wood. The wine is quite balanced with good acidity. It’s character persuades you to keep coming back for more and with each taste you discover something new. So frickin’ good! Again, excellent wine. Thanks Ryan and Rochelle!
Booyah! J
