Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 750ml 2005

Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 750ml 2005

After making Bacio Divino for nearly a decade, we introduced our Janzen Cabernet Sauvignons in 2004 to coincide with the first harvest of our own estate vineyards. Now comprising three distinct vineyard-designate Cabernets as well as an all Napa Valley Cabernet, our highly rated Janzen wines have developed their own following.

Critical Acclaim

This comes from Bacio Divino, which has been crafting wines under that label for some years. The consulting winemaker was the veteran Nils Venge. The wine is dry, full-bodied and very ripe, showing classic Napa cassis flavors wrapped into superfine tannins. As good as it is, one wonders what sets it apart from all the rest.

The brilliant 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, and a style similar to the Cloudy’s Vineyard, with more complexity as well as subtle toast, cedarwood, fruitcake, black currant, and high class, unsmoked cigar tobacco characteristics. The sweetness of the tannins, the richness and expansiveness in the mouth, the layered texture, and long, silky, tannic finish are all impressive.
