Bonus points for cost/quality ratio. Robust, rustic primitivo, with deep berry, raisin and meat aromas. Excellent at $20.

inky dark. Red fruit and vanilla. Not as tannic ('14) as suggested elsewhere.

This is an amazing wine and it is one of my favorite ones to bring to dinners. It is robust tannic fairly big and opens very quickly. As a cousin to the zinfandel it shows as it is extremely drinkable despite it's large tannic quality. Elements of black fruit and pepper remind me of both the zinfandel and the Shiraz. Anyone familiar Shirah from the Rhone Valley should definitely give this one a try. The only thing I will say is that I enjoy it with friends and less you can finish the bottle by yourself. It dies fairly quickly.
