2009 ReZerve Primitivo
Amador County $24
Consistently one of the best primitivos we taste. From the beautiful aromas of red and black fruit, floral spices and a backbone of oak, this silky-smooth wine never disappoints. It blends the best qualities of primitivo with those of zinfandel to offer a wonderfully balanced, mouth-filling, extremely sexy wine that lingers on the palate forever.

2008 ReZerve Primitivo
Amador County $24
This is a rich, round, sexy, smooth wine showcasing jammy raspberry, blueberry and cherry flavors wrapped in spice and soft oak flavors. The best primitivo we’ve tasted to date!

2008 Red Wine
Napa Valley $38
Pretty aromas of black cherry/cherry, raspberry, blackberry, light herbs and a hint of licorice are met with an equal amount of vanilla and oak. Even though it’s still a bit tight at this point, the wine displays harmonious layers of fruit and spice, ending in a slightly abrupt finish. Give this wine a little age and it’ll soften nicely.
