Picked up on a recommendation by a merchant locally. Overpaid compared to national prices but...

White flowers, lemon curd, apricot, a little sense of beeswax. Medium weight, good length. Nice to try.

4/28/2024 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NR

This was a sample bottle that Mina had given me during a visit to their farm/cellar. This wasn't in CT, but when doing a six+ day full cellar audit, I found it and I'm glad I did. This is aged wonderfully: med>full body, fresh, with good weight, secondary development and flavors that are at/near peak. This has another 3-5 years at this level before its decline sets in. I miss this place, Natalino and Mina. The entire story is beautiful. The 15,0% abv is integrated to the point the wine never once seemed hot. Gladly recommended

1. Appearance
Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Deep
Color: Dark ruby
Core vs. Rim Development: The core is opaque, with a slightly lighter rim showing hints of purple, suggesting youth.

2. Nose
Condition: Clean
Intensity: Medium to high
Aroma/Bouquet:
Fruit: Black cherry, plum, blackberry
Flower: Violets, hint of lavender
Earth: Light notes of forest floor, perhaps some leather
Mineral: Crushed gravel
Wood: Subtle notes of vanilla and cedar from oak aging

3. Palate
Sweetness: Dry
Acidity: Medium to high
Tannin: High, well-structured but ripe
Flavor Character:
Fruit: Dark cherry, blackberry compote
Flower: Touch of floral elements, enhancing complexity
Earth: Slight earthy undertones that complement the fruit
Mineral: Mineral undertones lending a crisp finish
Wood: Integrated oak, with hints of spice and toast

Body/Alcohol: Full-bodied, with a high alcohol content that is well integrated
Length: Long, lingering finish that sustains the fruit and earthy flavors

Conclusion
Quality with Respect to Price: Offers good value for money, showcasing depth and complexity that overperforms at its price point.

Maturity with Respect to Ageing: This wine could be enjoyed now but has potential to age and develop further complexity over the next 5-10 years.

Food and Wine Pairing: Ideal with robust dishes such as grilled meats, hearty stews, or mature cheeses. The wine's structure and depth make it capable of standing up to rich and flavorful dishes.

Not as big and rounded as some primitivos. Benefits from being decanted. Big berry fruits with a good underpinning of nice dry tannins.

Light yellow. Great nose, lots of green apple, pine nuts, wet stone and lemon. Delicious dry mineral, lemon and apple flavour and a great fresh finish.

I love this. Great QPR. The only downside is the bottle. It ways just over 32 oz empty.

3/16/2024 - fatris73 Likes this wine: 87 points

Nase: volles Bouquet, eingekochte Früchte, würzig, leicht süsslich
Gaumen: vollmundig, Säure und Gerbstoffe harmonisch, saftig, langer Abgang, allgemein sehr angenehm
Fazit: angenehmer, gefälliger Wein, der modern gemacht ist und vielen gefallen sollte - mir auch. Kein super anspruchsvoller Wein, aber gut gemacht. Preislich (in Europa, in der Schweiz ist er doppelt so teuer...) knapp unter EUR 10.-, was angesichts der Qualität ein fairer Preis ist. Eine Empfehlung für alle, die diesen Stil mögen.

Slightly sweet primitivo.
I am not a big fan for primitivo.
But just reallized it could be good pairing with hot and spicy food such as seasoned fried chicken or bibimkuksoo.

Fully matured. Brambly on the nose. Sherried moth balls. On the tongue- blue fruits, a bit astringent. A bitter, woody finish.

3/26/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 90 points

Retail $16. Very Responsible bottle (495g; 1lb 1.4oz). Under cork. I was doing a bit of research for an upcoming tasting I am doing: New World vs. Old World. I had chosen a couple of Sauvignon Blancs to start and then opted for a Primitivo/Zinfandel comparison. I grabbed this off the shelf. Popped. Poured. Yum. Medium color, good fruit, spice, and a bit of earth. Well. And I have to say, closer to a "Whoa" than I would have thought when I plucked this from the middle shelf of my H-E-B (I love my H-E-B). Yeah, we may have a winner here for the tasting. And at thirteen bucks? Yeah, Bingo.
