Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Primitivo is the early ripening clone of Zinfandel. Dhis one always represents a terrific value, if you like big reds.
It is stylistically distinct from Zin, though. Zin harvests late and the cluster ripens at such an inconsistent rate it gets a much more exaggerated example of flavours associated with sugar ripeness (raisinated flavours).
Primitivo can have these, but expect this one to be more spicey and lighter fruit flavours, comparatively. Stewed plum, vanilla, chocolate, and fennel on the nose of this one. More spice forward; lots of that alsp coming from the oak.
More modest alcohol (just under 14%), it still retains a full body, but more acidity than the North American iteration.
This would be a great wine for burgers or pork loin. It could cellar, but no longer than three to five years.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
