Here is a full-bodied, somewhat rustic, ripe, slightly pruny red blend. It’s a unique effort—34% Primitivo, 30% Lemberger, 22% Syrah, 10% Petite Sirah and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Made into a broad, fruity, soft and lightly chocolaty red, it’s a perfect wine for pizza, picnics and parties.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 87

Primitivo makes up three-fifths of the blend, Petite Sirah most of the rest. It’s consistent with past vintages: dark, soft, and plummy. But in 2005 there was something special going on, and the decadently sweet black cherry fruit really sings here.——P.G.(8/1/2007)—— 88
