Tasting note

Speaking of Janzen's terrific value, the 2012 Pazzo rocks. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Sangiovese, it's a very sexy, fleshy, succulent style of wine that consumers undoubtedly adore. Lots of red and black fruits, meaty, peppery spices and a hint of Provençal herbs all catch the taster's attention in this lusty, heady, ripe, rare outstanding effort. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Score - 90. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Oct. 2014)
