Cherry cola on the nose, nice earthy feel. Classic PN palate, some syrup notes mixed with red fruit and mild earth. A big negative is the bottle: unnecessarily heavy and a very frustrating capsule, with wax. Very hard to open, and so unnecessary to have this type of closure, please. Someone's homage to an Armagnac bottle?

Deep ruby color with a purple rim. Enticing aromas of boysenberry preserve, vanilla bean, floral notes of violet, with mineral notes of crushed stone, tar and herbal tones of lavender. Primera has a silky entrance on the palate showcasing nuanced flavors of wild strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. The lavender carries onto the palate with notes of thyme and fresh oregano. Flavor of raspberry puree lingers on the finish. Primera is a big, balanced Pinot Noir from start to finish, exhibiting a rich mouthfeel.

Very oak forward with complex body. Easily sipable good with food. Slighy structured with toasty tannins.

Really good, but still like Apex better.
Futures price: $345/3-pack
5 miles from the ocean, lots of fog and wind. Small lot.
