I am sure this primitivo is better than this bottle (my cork was failing and there was a hint of effervescence and definitely some taint). But I can't rate this very highly due to green pepper notes dominating after being open for half an hour. Otherwise, pleasant prune and baking spices were initially very enticing.

Great mix of fruit and spice, 2014 vintage and still too much astringency for my taste. Whether now or a year down the line this wants food. Preferably something smokey, saucy and on the BBQ.

Boozy nose but it turns into a pleasant cherry with a silly mouthfeel. I love Primitivo and this is a score for California produced Primitivo.

Bright Ruby Red in color, Close relstive of Zinfandel this grape. Aromas of white pepper & strawberries. Palate is red fruit and acidity make a lively, vibrant finish. To quote John Corcoran, "this Primitivo knocked my socks off"

Had the pleasure of discovering this wine while visiting the winery at VJB. I shipped some home and will buy a case of this for the cellar. This is a wonderful smooth wine, great for an Italian meal. Tannins are low and a nice hint of black Cherry exists on the finish. This is a very delightful wine.

Jammy noise with easy drinkability. Sonoma must visit. Tasting and signature pizza. Delish!
