Mendocino County

Medium

Cork

A surprisingly savoury and structured Primitivo from vines growing in Mariah Vineyards perched at 731m altitude in the Mendocino Ridge AVA. Has almost a Chambolle-Musigny-like Pinot Noir quality, with a rich, fragrant nose of red berry fruits, underbrush, and hints of charcuterie. It builds in intensity on the palate with pronounced sappy-rich cedarwood tannins that are long and finely grained with a deep intensity of fruit like a strawberry-balsamic reduction and traces of mocha on the drying finish. It needs a good decanting in its youth but has excellent cellar potential.
