Paired well with soppresata, cappicola and prosciutto, marinated grilled vegetables and a little sharp provolone.

Too sweet for me. Taste like a sweet Merlot with the unpleasant thickness, ripeness of a Zin.

From a deep and intense red violet color. Nice structure. Feels massive at first sight but it is a well done Primitivo (more known as Zinfandel) . Dense but round with ripe fruits notes, nice concentration, very pleasant. A nice big boy that can please people even with no food.

Spotted this at a wine store sitting right next to the 2016 vintage for the same price. Bought it without hesitation not knowing much about the producer. Am I glad I did!
Earthy, smoky, spicy, with hint of raisin and vanilla. Fruit has faded a bit but acidity is still very vibrant. Powerful entry but finishes off with gentle smooth tannins. Nice.
The bottle is very heavy - probably the heaviest 750ml bottle I’ve ever had.

Wow, what a deal at < $20 / bottle
Wine spectator says #69 of top 100 of 2014.
A burly, brambly red, underscored by tarry smoke and underbrush notes, offering flavors of blackberry coulis, herb-marinated black olive, grilled mushroom and ground spice. This shows muscle that recommends it to short-term cellaring, made accessible by integration and balance. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. #69 – 91 points

Beyond ruby red and into the violet spectrum of colors, this raisin, meaty, rustic peppered medium to full bodied wine has good structure. Very little fragrance
