Riserva Primitivo di Manduria

This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak.

Whoaaaa it’s a heady wine! Way complex, way deep thought-inducing but texturally it is more supple than one would imagine. Everything from seabreeze, licorice and roses on the nose give way to red cherries and white pepper on the palate. Bright with a tender bite.

Dark purple color. Super thick, deep wine. CDP like with prunes/plums. Savory and sweet.

Sweet plums, cigar, zippy tannins. First snow flakes fell today😡.

Nice balance

I hope the mushroom pizza is as delish as this wine...

Very "Italian" nose but the palette is as rich and jammy as you'd expect from a Zinfandel.

鼻に抜ける感じがバターっぽく美味しい。

Taking advantage of the cool temps to open a red.

Medium body, very smooth, black cherry, getting better after 1 hour open, good with steak or pasta with ragu
