Bacio Divino Pazzo - 2003(W-177)

Bacio Divino Pazzo
Earthy Spicy Smooth & Elegant

Winery Story

Bacio Divino is located on the sunny and vine-dappled peaks of Napa Valley, overlooking the town of St. Helena. In 1993, possessed of ideali... (more...)sm and fierce ambitions, the winery undertook to etch out its own signature wine. They envisioned something that could make an impression both immediate and lasting, as well as a wine with a twinkle in its eye, promising equal parts mystery and mischief.

Tasting Note

Pazzo is an innovative blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and a touch of Viognier for softness and fragrance.... (more...) It is a delicious wine of enormous value. Pazzo boasts an intense, aromatic, perfumed nose of blueberry, cedar, and sweet tobacco with a ripe, juicy palate consisting of coffee, leather, dark cherry, and peppery spice.

very good, well-balanced wine. Mild tannins and a nice acidity level make for a smooth drinkability. Big ripe fruit flavors on the palate mix well with a fairly complex array of spices.

Very spicy, earthy wine. Very large nose. Lots of grape flavor.

A little heavy. Improved after some sitting, but I don' think I'd buy this soon. Loved the wacky cork, though.

Found this a little too earthy, not well-rounded/smooth enough. Not one of my favorites.

Started off tasting like a mediocre merlot--too much hot, alcohol flavor coming through. But the second pour had softened quite a bit (no decant, just open bottle) and the flavor had more dimentions. Still, this is an aggressive wine that needs food and a hearty food at that. I drank this with grilled salmon with a fairly hot spice rub and brown rice with red curry sauce and the food was still overshadowed. I'd try this with braised meat or pasta and meat sauce/lasagna.

This wine had a nice dark color and a tangy smokey taste but still somewhat smooth. It enjoyed it very much!

earthy and fruit-forward at once, with lovely Italianate dried herbs and a rich New World-esque chocolate essence as well. Tobacco and smoke and red fruits on the finish.

Loved the full bodied smoothness with a nice hint of spice. This is a must try bottle. A very exciting sexy wine
