One Hundred Percent Hand Crafted Puglia Primitivo Zinfandel
Puglia, Italy
Ruby in color with a wide reddish/brick rim.
Fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, earth, barnyard, vegetables, smoke and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, oak, licorice, cloves, earth, vegetables, vinaigrette, vanilla, tobacco leaf, spices, beef jerky and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is an above-average Primitivo from Puglia, Italy. Not fully balanced any longer, but drinking nicely even by itself. A little oxidized, though.
Has a nice mouthfeel, and an enjoyable tangy ending. A good everyday wine.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$14.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, raspberries, red currants, oak, smoke, light vanilla, graphite, chocolates, mocha, sweet herbs, earth, river rocks, spices and black pepper.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Primitivo from Italy. Well balanced with mild complexity. Good right out of the bottle with a nice mouthfeel (after 20 minutes of airtime).
A good beginner red wine and great for parties. It has a screw top, so you can take it anywhere, which I liked.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a nice sunset by the lake.

Let's make this simple, very jammy taste, so make yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and crack this open.... I bet you'll smile. Heck put some cartoons on.

I honestly love this wine. It's easy and pleasant and doesn't ask too much of me when I just want to enjoy a glass of wine :) and it was free
