Varietal Content: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Sangiovese, 15% Petit SirahOur Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 7 various vineyards, including world-class vineyards such as ‘To-Kalon Vineyard’ in Oakville, ‘Georges Latour III Vineyard’ in Rutherford, and our own ‘Estate Vineyard’ in Dutch Henry Canyon near Howell Mountain. The Sangiovese comes from a high elevation vineyard in Atlas Peak, and a hillside vineyard in the heart of the Oakville appellation. The Petit Sirah vineyard is located just north of Calistoga. All fruit and wines are Napa appellation.For those who can remember the ’95 vintage, this vintage is closest to that. This current wine is the most precocious yet. Bacio is very fruit forward, explodes on the palate with congenial berry fruit, yet slides away with a balance that rewards with long and lasting sweetness. Bacio is aromatic with ripe fruit, and is delightfully sweet and balanced.Unlike wines that typify a certain terroir, our wines are blends in the classic sense. We choose the most expressive barrels of each varietal and utilize the ‘art’ of blending to produce a final wine that is superior to each of its components.
All wines were aged in various new and one-year-old French Oak barrels, from November, 2002 to July, 2004.
