Primal Roots, 2010 ($10) is from California and a new wine in the market. It is a red blend of 43% Merlot, 37% Syrah, and 20% Zinfandel and 100% French oak aged. The color is a deep rich purple. Unfortunately in the tasting cup I was not able to detect an aroma (gosh how I hate that). The flavors were coffee, chocolate and hints of smokiness and spice. Nicely balanced with integrated tannins. Customers enjoyed this and it sold VERY well. Most customers had a difficult time deciding which wine to purchase - this or Dreaming Tree Crush (reviewed yesterday). Some customers solved this dilemma by buying both wines! Winemaker's Note: The 2010 Red Blend has aromas of mocha, vanilla, and spice that give way to a silky texture along with rich flavors of raspberries and chocolate that are truly uninhibited.
