  Spicy, lingering favors. Raspberries and spice unless you ask my husband who says black cherry. We all really enjoy this spicy Italian (rhone - like) blend. It is 54% Primitivo, 18% Grenache, 14% Mourvedre, 9% Cinsault, 5% Petit Sirah. Yum! A steal at $14.

  This is one of the more interesting and delightful blends from Washington State I've tasted. First sampled at the Bunnell family's Wine O'Clock restaurant I decided to take some home. Well worth the $14 price it is not the usual Washington Merlot centered blend. Fact finding shows over 50% Primitivo and the relationships of the other varietals seems intriguing. It has a subtle nose but hits the palate with a wake-up peppery, crisp-raspberry like surprise that continues in a nicely lingering, slightly tannic call to a second mouthful. Bright and fun this wine is fine to drink now and was a nice complement to a spicy pasta dish we shared last evening.
