Photography courtesy Primal RootsThe true essence of Primal Roots begins with the raw qualities of Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel which are artfully blended to create a smooth, full-bodied, sensual wine. The Merlot provides aromas of raspberry, red currants and mocha along with fine-grained tannins that create a soft, luxurious texture. Merlot is the varietal that keeps this wine ‘grounded.’
Syrah lends a deep purple colour, silky texture and balanced structure to the wine. Aromas of violets, black currants and a gentle earthiness are accentuated by flavours of dried cherry, dark chocolate and vanilla spice.
Zinfandel is concentrated and rich yet soft on the palate and loaded with black cherry, clove and wild blackberry. Known for its spicy characters, the Zinfandel rounds out the wine by adding a touch of warm spice.
Aged in 100% Oak.
Primal Roots Red Blend California, 2010; $13.95 (approx)
