Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,
December 2003 issue featuring Pazzo:
- Pazzo "Call me crazy". 2000 Napa
($35) Red Rated 90, Outstanding.
Proprietor Claus Janzen continued to perform his magic in the
challenging 2000 vintage. The 2000 Pazzo is a full throttle
Sangiovese that makes a mockery of most California Sangiovese-based
wines. A serious effort, it offers aromas of soy, new saddle
leather, sweet and sour cherries as well as currants in a
medium to full-bodied, concentrated flavorful style meant to
be consumed over the next 2-5 years. If Bacio Divino can make
Sangiovese this good, why do so many other wineries fall on
their faces?
- Pazzo “Call me crazy”. 2001 Napa
($35) Red Rated 89, Very Good.
The tasty 2001 Pazzo “Call me Crazy” is a blend of 55%
Sangiovese, the rest equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and
Petit Sirah. It possesses a dark ruby/garnet color in addition
to a big, smoky/barbecue-like bouquet revealing scents of
sweet cherries, cedar, earth and charcuterie/sausage aromas.
It will drink beautifully (especially with Italian dishes)
over the next 2-3 years.
