Description

This is a medium-full bodied Zinfandel wine with lingering spice aromas such as clove and anise. A robust and tannic wine with a soft, well-balanced finish.

FROM THE WINEMAKER
Primitivo is the Italian Zinfandel and the Clarksburg appellation makes a fantastic representation. The Heringer Estates 2016 Primitivo is a lighter bodied red wine with enticing aromas of cranberry, cherry, tobacco, and pepper. A fantastic food wine, the Primitivo often explodes with candied fruitiness followed by spicy tobacco-like smoky finish. This lovely vintage is excellent to enjoy now or can be aged another 10 years.
