2023 Primitivo
Made for starry nights around the fire pit.
This is the red you reach for after the kids are asleep, when friends linger a little longer than expected, or anytime you want something bold without feeling over-the-top.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Bursting with juicy dark fruit and a silky finish.
Rich enough to impress, easy enough to become your weeknight favorite.
The kind of bottle everyone asks about after the first pour.
PAIRS WELL WITH
Perfect for backyard BBQs, pizza nights, burgers off the grill, evenings around the fire pit, or sharing with friends when no one wants the night to end.
TASTING NOTES
Layers of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and juicy plum are wrapped in notes of baking spice, cocoa, and a touch of cracked pepper. Plush and velvety on the palate, this vintage is balanced by fresh acidity that keeps the fruit vibrant from start to finish. It's bold, smooth, and incredibly easy to enjoy—whether it's paired with dinner or simply poured into a glass and shared with good company.
