Bacio Divino 1999 Red (Napa Valley)
- $75
At first this is very woody, bordering on sappy. But with time the wood softens, leaving ripe and bright cassis, plum and black cherry. The finish is toasty and creamy. And while it feels full and hearty, the wine isn’t hard or tannic. An interesting blend of Cabernet, Sangiovese and Petite Sirah.

Bacio Divino 1997 Sangiovese (Napa Valley)
- $75
Plum aromas are pounded home with notes of meat and menthol. When you next hear the word “opaque,” think of this. But the body is surprisingly svelte, and the flavors emphasize red fruit. Some tannins are manifested on the finish, which shows licorice and buttery oak.

Bacio Divino 2006 Red (Napa Valley)
- $80
This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Viognier, which makes it quite unusual, even unique in California. It’s quite an interesting wine, showing blackberry, currant and cedar flavors, with a bright, crisp acidity possibly contributed by the Viognier. Are there flowers in there too? Keeps you guessing.

Bacio Divino 2007 Divine Kiss Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
Age is this blend’s hope, because right now it’s pretty simple, showing raspberry, cherry, currant, buttered cinnamon toast and smoky cedar flavors that are quite delicious, but a bit one-dimensional. Could surprise. Mainly Cab, with some Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot.

Bacio Divino 2007 Vagabond Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Very fruity and delicious in cherries, blackberries and sweet oak, with a pleasant spiciness, and firm, dry tannins that give it structure. But there’s a certain rusticity, with some raisin and mint flavors. Drink now. Mainly Syrah, with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bacio Divino 2007 Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
Marked by sweet, jammy fruit and oak, this wine is quite good, but doesn’t show much complexity. It’s smooth and silky, with pie-filling flavors of blackberries, raspberries and cherries, wrapped into firm but fine tannins. Could develop bottle complexity down the road, but it’s a gamble.

Bacio Divino 2008 Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
Heavy and sweet, almost sugary in blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors, with a smoky, hot finish. A good wine that will appeal to those who like its candied taste.

Bacio Divino 2000 Red Wine (Napa Valley)
- $80
Pretty good, although it is without much depth. The tart black cherry, tobacco and herb flavors are folded into thick tannins, and the finish is very dry and astringent. Might soften a bit with a few years of age.
