Three Angels Primitivo 07
Cherry, strawberry and rhubarb scents mingle as the Three Angels Primitivo Coyote Canyon 07 is poured. Flavors of fresh cherries and earth finish with concentrated plum and dark fruit notes. Pair with bold dishes made with tomatoes, black olives and capers. Drink now through 2011.
Primitivo is a genetic equivalent to Zinfandel, but it is quite different in taste. The Three Angels 2007 Primitivo reminds us of the pure flavors and character exhibited by the Primitivo based wines produced from Puglia (Italy's heel) with less rustic elements.
Only 83 cases produced.
