This is a Primitivo coming from the Columbia Valley AVA. On first taste, you experience the passion that goes into this wine. On entry, ripe blackberries, violets and pepper entice the palette—it is soft and pretty with a spicy, captivating edge that keeps you coming back for more. This high-octane wine blows the competition away—excellent balance and silkiness. Drink now or hold through 2015. 100 case production, which means if you can track this wine down, buy it. Zinfandel and Primitivo lovers won’t be disappointed.
Excellent (91) | $20 | 15.7% ABV
