Always like tasting Syrah’s and this from Italy is no exception. This is pretty aromatic with obvious pepper tones and an vegetational characteristics. Not like floral to me but more like the smell of brush in the summertime. Odd and most likely incorrect but something I remembered from being a kid. I think it drank well. A little warm on the mouth. The berries come through and there was a touch of green pepper. Side note I had this with bulgogi and that flavor could have been an off shoot of the meal. It really went well with the meal. Overall, this is a fun bottle of wine to drink. Good price point and good with the right foods. — 6 years ago

Delightful, easy drinking primitivo. Really exciting on the nose: blackberry, tobacco and dark chocolate. Cinnamon white pepper, and Hungarian paprika are added on the palate (midpalate to finish), and the dark chocolate notes appear more as dark roast coffee on the palate. Score is lower than I would give it otherwise because it is a bit flabby for my taste. This makes it a good easy drinker though because it is very smooth. Acid is on the low side for the varietal and you really only get the tannins on the finish. Definitely one to buy again though. Good value at $20 and quite approachable for dinner party guests. — 8 years ago

Truly delicious full bodied red with a beautiful mix of spicy and fruity notes. A repeat buy almost immediately. Drank with a homemade meal of turkey meatballs. — 6 years ago
Incredibly smooth and very silky and soft. Nice dark purple color. Low in acidity. Low to medium tannin. A little grip comes a little later in the long finish. On the tongue there is a pleasant amount of ripened plums. It is Syrup-like once it enters. Flavors of juicy prunes are strong with a hint of cigar and tobacco and some fig. Really enjoyed this wine. Went well with famous home made meatballs and spaghetti squash. — 6 years ago

Absolutely fantastic on point classic Chianti, still primary. Heady sour cherry fruit, a floral note, with undertones of mushroom, leather, sandalwood,black tea. Energetic bright acidity. Awesome, and likely better in 5 yrs — 8 years ago
