All of the Pacenti signatures are in place

dark red fruits

There is some finishing rusticity but overall

There is a subtle trace of exoticism to the pretty and layered array of both white and yellow orchard fruit

but when the wines are on – as they increasingly are – they merit considerable attention

Torbreck, Factor Vintage:2010 All of the Pacenti signaturesInky ruby. Heady scents of dark berry liqueur, singed plum and incense, with notes of vanilla and smoky minerals building in the glass. Shows excellent clarity and lift to the palate staining blueberry, cola and candied lavender flavors, with juicy acidity giving the wine spine. Deftly marries richness and vivacity and finishes sweet, broad and extremely long, with solid punch and fine grained tannins. Josh Raynolds
