This hot climate Primitivo has a jammy side that is evident in its raw notes of strawberry and blackberry preserves. This is a powerful and intense wine with flavors of spice, tar and dried herbs with a chewy, rich mouthfeel.

Oak renderings of spice and toast dominate this hearty Primitivo at first but eventually give way to molasses, plum cake and candied fruit. The wine is big and sticky with sour almond flavors and would pair with meat stew or aged cheese.

Drying tones of neutral mineral and stone fruit describe the nose of this luminous blend of Chardonnay and Verdeca. You’ll get background notes of dried hay and natural rubber that add character and the wine tastes smooth and supple to the end.

A very precise mineral quality that recalls slate roof and granite defines this wine and delivers a linear and drying experience overall. The wine has charm and elegance with lingering spice notes on the finish.
