Tasting note:

Primitivo is noted for producing food-friendly and accessible wines. This delicious Kosher version from Borgo Reale features notes of blackberry, smoke, licorice and chocolate that greet the nose with typical Mediterranean warmth and charm. Exceptionally well made, with a dry and medium-full-bodied palate that shows a plethora of mixed fruit deliciously overlaid on superbly integrated tannins and acids. Great structure. My note: Smoky, espresso, mocha nose: love it like a warm kitchen (so inviting and comfortable). Aromas of blackberries and leather. This wine goes on and on (or maybe I do). I’d drink this one while watching the Godfather II (not I … needs a more vibrant chianti). Food matches: wild game, roasted meats with mushrooms.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
