I do love my Primitivos. So when my rep suggested I try this one, specifically for the type of market I have In my region, I jumped on it. Now I know what type of wine these people drink. The nose shows more signs of chocolate covered boisenberry than anything pepper and berry related tones. However...upon airing out, it changed every 7 minutes or so. They say a great (good) wine changes every 10 minutes! This does that. Dig it! 14.99 Noble509

My first impression was quite good. Fruit head, moderate body, and a nice finish. But I didn't enjoy the way this wine developed. Could use some cheese to cut the acidity. Not a memorable wine.
