Oaky, earthy, with hints of lemongrass on the nose. This is a very interesting primitivo. I’m giving it a little bit of time to open up but it hasn’t changed much. It tastes of blackberry & earth, which as you can imagine, is what makes it an interesting wine.

Love this wine. Big bold, but not obnoxious. Smooth tannins.DARK fruit, tobacco. Not at all jammy. Super heavy bottle for some reason

The kind of wine that goes with everything. A great full bodied red but not over the top.

Absolutely perfect, correct balance just a pleasure to drink. And yes the bottle is the heaviest I’ve ever had.
