DFJ is a combination of the initials of the two owners—Dino Ventura and Fausto Ferraz—and those of winemaker Jose Neiva. The Grand’Arte range consists of single-varietal wines grown in the company’s 148-acre vineyard. This wine, with its aromas of pepper and herbs, and its powerful black cherry flavors and vanilla layers, is stunning. —R.V. ——R.V.(12/31/2002)—— 92
