Feudo di Santa Croce

Primitivo di Manduria 2010

Wow, what a deal at < $20 / bottle
Wine spectator says
#69 of top 100 of 2014.
A burly, brambly red, underscored by tarry smoke and underbrush notes, offering flavors of blackberry coulis, herb-marinated black olive, grilled mushroom and ground spice. This shows muscle that recommends it to short-term cellaring, made accessible by integration and balance. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Merkin Vineyards Shinola New Mexico Red Blend 2013

Right after opening, it seems like an alcohol bomb on the nose. Not to fail. Just needs 10 minutes and it's open to big red fruit, slight oak, tart cherry, and great acid. They're killing it out there. — 7 years ago

Puglia Primitivo

This is a ruby red gem at 14.0% ABV. Italy's Puglua IGP Zinfandel is labelled Primitivo. An bold aroma of blackberry fruit, fresh plum, and a hint of raspberry jam is met with a palate reflective of aromas. Mouthwatering, fleshy, flavourful, medium + tannins, medium bodied, medium plus fruit, this wine has tertiary notes of earthiness. This wine is a wonderfully captured expression of warm climate — 9 years ago
