95 POINTS — Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
“The 2014 Bacio Divino Proprietary Red is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Sangiovese sourced from all of the vineyards mentioned for his other wines, plus the Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford. This is a beautiful wine with plenty of blackberry and blueberry fruit, a hint of incense and charcoal, a dense full-bodied mouthfeel, outstanding purity, texture and length. This wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 25+ years.”
93 POINTS — Wine Enthusiast magazine
“A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend from heritage vineyards farmed by Andy Beckstoffer, this wine tastes of chocolate-covered clove, sage and a waft of eucalyptus, thick in concentration and firm, integrated tannin. While it presents itself as a big, bold wine, it retains balance and grace in the glass.”
Winemaker’s Notes - Kirk Venge
“2014 was another excellent vintage for Cabernet in Napa Valley. When you work with some of the most renowned vineyards in the Valley, the result nears perfection. By blending in a little Sangiovese and a splash of Petit Verdot, we have heightened the aromatics and created a truly unique wine that Cabernet devotees, as well as those who appreciate “artful” blends, can enjoy.”
