93 pts Wine Enthusiast. It opens with aromas of raspberry pie crust, black pepper, licorice candy, lilac, baked earth and ends on toasted oak. The mirage of light red fruits provided by Primitivo and the wholesome integration of dark fruits delivered by Cabernet make this blend vibrant, expressive and all around charming. Plum, cherry soda aromas, mocha and black pepper bouquets dominate on the nose, while the mouthfeel is smoothly layered and integrated with new American oak barrels. These woody spice notes carry throughout the wine’s broad palate, decorating the savory black olive, charred meat and oregano spice taste. The wine’s overall fruity taste is offset and framed by dry and polished tannins.
