Medium-dark color with abriary varietal Zinfandel nose. Blackberry, Mulberry, and violets add to this wine’s fleshy center and full-bodied texture, finishing with spicy fresh herbs showing a complete wine from beginning to end. Complexity with first growth quality.
This wine made only for our wine club members is much like a light claret style Zinfandel. In the 50’s and 60’s Zinfandel was known as the Claret of California red wine. Primitivo and Zinfandel share the same chromosomal makeup. One coming from southeastern Italy and the other from California. Even though they have the exact same chromosomal makeup, the Primitivo produces more of a Pinot Noir like delicate style wine. Enjoy this Claret style Primitivo with grilled chicken and picnic grilled red meats.
