Our all estate grown fruit for this 2018 Reserve Primitivo is blended with 13% Petite Sirah, and is abundantly fruit-driven with compelling spice bouquets. The aromas are generously juicy, with graceful dried fruit that highlights this unique wine. Made in a big, robust and full-bodied fashion and lavish style, this wine offers structure and layers of cola, berry, plum, dark cherry and a lasting twist of oregano and black pepper. Overall, it’s a hearty wine with hints of earthy tones, black olive, blackberry and even ripe strawberry. It is a big wine yet the mouthfeel is soft, and well-integrated tannins provide a footing of weight and space. The finish is intense yet clean with teases of dried herbs with black licorice mingling with lasting acidity. This is a wine to age, hold onto it at least till 2028 for peak performance.
