If you don’t know Primitivo, this is the perfect place to start. One of the star varietals of Southern Italy in the Puglia region, Primitivo di Manduria is just what we call Zinfandel here in the states. It’s only grown in Puglia where it thrives, and earned its name of primitivo because it ripens early (like tempranillo).
The wines are often dry, dark and juicy and that’s exactly what you have in today’s wine – but it’s one of the finest examples I’ve had from the region. It’s inky, with a full body of dark fruit bursting from the seams and held together with bold, chewy tannins. There’s a whole lot to like here, and I can see why Maroni called this one, “somewhere between excellent and exceptional”.

Another series of wines (from Borgo del Mandorlo) of excellent value that illustrates Italy to the world of winemaking. Wines which, given the very high levels of consistency, balance and taste-aromatic integrity presented, reflect the goodness of the agronomic and oenological applications of which they are such auspicious fruit. Reds with consistency and softness that I find between the excellent and the exceptional, with oxidative and olfactory integrity such that the purplish fruit shines with concentration and pure in aromas. A truly impressive series of wines amongst the best in Italy. Wine dominated by blackberry jam with crystalline shimmers of spice of the superfine persuasive oak. Hats off.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
