2021 Primitivo- $37/$29.60

41.1 ABV/87 cases/Garre Vineyards

100% Primitivo/Aged 20 months in 30% new European Oak

The color is a brilliant ruby. The bouquet is full of dark fruit of berry and cherry and fig. There are earthy notes with spice undertones of nutmeg, cinnamon and white pepper. The palate is bright and fruit forward, medium body with layers of flavor. It is consistent with the bouquet plus a hint of vanilla. It’s complex, but not heavy with “jammy” nuances. The finish is rustic with lingering fruit, spice, oak and tannins.
