Howell Mountian Vineyards Howell Mountain Primitivo Clone Zinfandel 2017

Effusively and powerfully built around blackberry and graham cracker flavors, this bold, structured mountain wine is soft and unctuous on the palate. Firm, integrated tannin and oak don’t hinder but rather add to the intrigue and appeal, leading to a finish of cinnamon and black pepper. Score – 93. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2020)
