Sweet herbs, tobacco and black olive give way to mentholated blackberry as the 2022 Primitivo Porcospino opens in the glass. Creamy and round, with balancing acidity and depths of ripe dark fruit, the 2022 finishes long and pleasantly chewy with a bitter twang and tart wild berry thrust. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous March 2024)

Moderate purple red in color. Persimmon and tea notes in nose. Light body. Tea, cherry, dried persimmon notes in mouth. Some skin astringency. Coffee bitterness finish. Nice accessible PNW red

Delicious fruit, lighter body with high acidity. Drank with pizza and sushi and paired nicely.

Subtly sweet (think prunes) and spicy. Needs some air time (still young), but it sure tastes good once it opens a little. What I like most is a cherry and tobacco sense that keeps lingering long after you swallow. This is yum!
