2019 vintage.
Named after a little creek running between the vineyards and the Villa.
60 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Cabernet Franc from vineyards in Bolgheri and Maremma.
12 months in French and American Oak barriques…30 % new.
Deep, dark ruby red.
Red fruit, leather,toasty and herbal on the nose.
Dark plum, tobacco, bay leaf with finely grained tannins with medium acidity and a fresh finish.
This wine definitely punches above its weight.
It’s the little brother.
The big brother is Sor Ugo.
Try it if you have the opportunity. — 2 years ago
“L” natural Grenache at Primrose 2019 with Zubal on 7/14/21. Dazzlingly delightful recommended by Sebastian for $70. Dances on the front of the tongue. Light, lots of barnyard, to the point of “manure“. Does not stand up to food. — 4 years ago

Nice balance, good berries up front and pepper and a little leather. I felt it could have a little more depth. Ugo liked it more than me. Aged well. Nice treat. — 3 years ago

No formal notes as this was the last wine served and I didn’t get enough time to examine in detail. Served blind. Medium ruby , quite wide garnet rim . Quite high toned , fresh red fruits , strawberry, raspberry , and touch of spice . Elegant and refined , very tensile . Quite fresh with spiced red cherry fruit , long and detailed , saline tinged on the finish . Impressive but very young , needs a bit more time really. Better in 5-10 years and will last well a further 10 or so. — 12 hours ago
