Primitivo, Knights Valley, 2006

Primitivo, Knights Valley, 2006 Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Primitivo is the Italian version of a Zinfandel, which was proven in the last decade or so by the researchers at UC Davis using genetic DNA testing on the vines. Our spicy wine varietal is from the warmest local climate situated in Knights Valley. Aromas of boysenberry, honey, and vanilla transform at each sip with the smoky flavors of coffee and tobacco with lingering tannins and a bit of raspberry. Upon finishing this medium-bodied wine, the finish follows up the palate with notes of fruit and spice. A wonderful addition to any Italian feast, this bottle drinks wonderfully with tomato-based sauces and hearty grilled meats.
