Gold Medal 2005 San Francisco International Wine Competition, Gold Medal 2005 Los Angeles County Fair, 92 Points "Exceptional" - Beverage Tasting Institute

Primitivo: prim-i-tiv-o: a lesser-known Italian grape sibling to the Zinfandel with significantly smaller clusters and smaller berries, which exude a more concentrated flavor.

Ruby red violet-hue, this wine shows the spice, balance and structure of its Zinfandel sibling along with the welcome acidity and rustic nature of its Italian heritage. Taste the hints of tobacco, blackberry, sage, oregano and oak aromas that end with a long and layered finish.  Only 380 cases produced!
