Tasting Notes

91 Points, James Suckling \u201c...fresh and wild nose of licorice, thyme, beetroot, cherries and some charcuterie. Nicely savory and fresh, with a medium to full body and gently stemmy tannins. Tasty primitivo. Drink now.\u201d 91 Points, Eric Guido\u2013Vinous \u201cDarkly alluring, earthy and intense. Minty herbs, grilled sage and crushed ashen stone give way to citrus-tinged blackberries. Cooling and sleek on the palate with ripe black fruits and wild herbal tones. Subtle tannins, finishing long and remarkably fresh. Fantastic balance and could easily outclass many Primitivos coming out of Italy today.\u201d 90 Points, Anthony Mueller\u2013Robert Parker\u2019s Wine Advocate \u201cDark-fruited ... fresh but not marked with classic, jammy New World Zinfandel tones; instead, the Primitivo is focused and finessed. Full-bodied, spicy and pure, the wine offers a balanced structure, succulent acidity and food-friendly tannins and ends with an elegant, juicy finish.\u201d
