Medium body and dark berry fruits. Thick and jammy without the residual sugar of say Lodi Zins. Soft tannins, stainless aging. Nice everyday pizza, pasta, bbq and burger wine.

Medium bodied but jammy. Blackberry and other dark fruits permeate. A little chocolate and vanilla. There’s an underlying layer of greener flavors too, some grass and herbs. It’s not sweet like a Cali zin, but not intensely structured either.

I do love my Primitivos. So when my rep suggested I try this one, specifically for the type of market I have In my region, I jumped on it. Now I know what type of wine these people drink. The nose shows more signs of chocolate covered boisenberry than anything pepper and berry related tones. However...upon airing out, it changed every 7 minutes or so. They say a great (good) wine changes every 10 minutes! This does that. Dig it! 14.99 Noble509
