Joughin Vineyard Primitivo

Joughin Vineyard Primitivo Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: The cool 2003 vintage, marked by long hang time for the fruit, saw these grapes being harvested in the middle of October. Bruce waited for ripe flavors before picking at a harvest sugar of 24.9 Brix. The third crop of Primitivo from the Joughin Vineyard, this wine is now showing more mature flavors and concentration of fruit. No longer a precocious little wine, Primitivo is aging with style and grace and fast becoming a staff favorite according to cellar master Bert. It would also appear that the Los Olivos area of the Santa Ynez Valley is turning out to be a terrific place to grow Primitivo. This is a terrific wine to experiment with a wide range of flavors and cheeses, we feel the list of food pairings is rather large. Eat, drink, and contemplate.
