  • Ruby color. Nose: blueberry, boysenberry, and bottled cherry with accents of violets/roses, vanilla, bacon, tobacco, baking spices, dark chocolate, and licorice root. Medium body on the palate: black cherry, boysenberry, and blueberry framed by licorice root, clove, tobacco, vanilla bean, mocha, Sichuan peppercorn, and black olive. Medium+ acidity. Moderate/lighter tannins. Lingering licorice root, clove, Sichuan peppercorn, and black olive on the moderate finish. Vibrant fruit with lots of earthy spice accents. Great table red. An ideal match for Carolina-style pulled pork. Drink over the next 2-3 years.

  • This wine is designated Indian Creek Vineyard, and there does not seem to be any other 2011 Andis Primitivo. Anyway it's a totally worthwhile bottle. Very deep ruby. Nice, zin-like nose of blackberries, blueberries, and hard spices complemented by sweet oak. Dark and serious on the palate, as clear black-fruit and black pepper flavors join loamy and woody tones. Finishes with a wave of cherry and more blueberries ahead of light grip and low tannins. I wish I had more of this because it will be better in a few years (pH 3.5, 13.5%ABV). Right now, it's rich and delicious.
