Medium bouquet, some spice and cranberry. Black cherry, some acidity, pretty grippy with a soft finish that is lost pretty quickly. — 7 years ago

First Primitivo ever - At least that I know of. This wine is deep in colour and takes on some of that on the palate. Black liquorice and dark fruits, cherry, currants. Dry with nice acidity and smooth tannins. Liked it! — 7 years ago

Granny smith and crab apple, citrus fruits and underripe tropical fruits. Light bodied, med+ acidity. We’re savouring this but if it were up to my wife, it’d be gone quickly. — 7 years ago

I may not have picked this one correctly pairing-wise (mostly oysters). Flowers and orchard fruits, nice but sweeter than I wanted. Finished dry and with some heat, I enjoyed that. — 7 years ago
