Tasting - Cortenova Primativo 2012

Name: Cortenova Primativo 2012
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $10 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95)

Winery Review: "Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. 100% Zinfandel."

My Review: I smelled oak, earth, and berries. On the palate this was was dry but smooth. Along with the taste of berries, there was also a hint of spice. There was another taste that was hard to taste...musky maybe? There was a long finish and drinking it made me want to eat a steak or something hardy. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
