Winemaker Notes: 

"Sue Smith's beautiful hillside Primitivo is a beacon to artisan winemakers.  A deep garnet color leads to mysterious, forbidden-like fruit reminiscent of black cherries and currants, but somehow just a tad bit otherworldly.  A hint of smoldering sage and seance-inducing potpourri taunt the olfactory.  Pair with pasta putanesca, baba ganoush, Thai eggplant in a black bean sauce, dolmas, falafel, hummus, Shwarma, Sabih with tahini, and chicken shnitzel.  Be creative!"
