Primitivo clone! With just a smidge of petite Sirah and barbera. In a blind tasting I don’t know what I’d call—it’s all macerated blackberries and strawberries and green branches. Tannins smooth and perfect. Metaphor time? This wine is a “pizza” on some other bread sort. There is something there that makes you identify if and it rocks your tastebud but...It could be another thing. Dang clones.

Monthly guys group wine meet-up. No theme tonight aside from “it better be good”.
Incredibly funky and herbal on the nose. Blew off after 30mins. Showed more dirty blackberries. Palate was extremely tannic. Date covered bay leafs. Charcoal. Rhubarb tart on the finish.

great acidity for a zin, dark fruit, licorice, great tannin structure, although slightly green

Rich dark fruit on the nose, dark ruby gives elegant look, light jamminess, is that a word?, fills your mouth but quickly floats away and hurries you for sip. Can’t wait for the steak in the grill to get done.
