winemaker's notes:

The wine is dark opaque garnet, with aromas of exotic spice, toast and hints of tobacco and mint. The massive flavor is mouthfilling with lush blackberry and cherry notes with smooth powerful tannins.

"One of the first cool-climate reds from Chile, the newest verstion of primus is packed with ripe red cherry flavors and notes of bell pepper and bacon. The flavors of blackberry juice and clove end on a plus, mouthwatering finish. Ready to pour now with a steak, it will also gain in complexity over time."

I would buy this wine again

If you enjoy red varietal blends with a full body, you'll like this wine. Softer tannins with a smooth texture and finish. The increased prices on Napa Cabs have me trying and really enjoying wines such as this one. Definitely a smart buy.

I would buy this wine again

I have been buying this wine for several months now and find it to be one of the best quality reds for its value. It was the top pick over 17 other bottles of wine and other red varieties at a wine-tasting event I attended several months ago. Full flavor but not too heavy. Clean finish.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
These wines are made from organically grown grapes from vineyards dedicated to sustainable farming.

Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
