Primal Roots 2011 Red Blend, California
A lush, mouthwatering red blend, Primal Roots combines three of California's most versatile and distinctive grapes; Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel for a wine that delivers the best of all three. Oak aging adds to the nuance and complexity while the softness, richness and ripe fruit of 49% Merlot marries with the bold texture and earthiness of 42% Syrah and the zesty berry and spice of 9% Zinfandel for a mouthful of wine that's both tasty and satisfying. Aged in American and French oak barrels, it's the perfect choice for everyday foods and enjoyment.

    Great Little Red

    What a great little everyday red. Smooth and easy, this just fills your palate with great fruit and a nice, velvety finish.

    Decent everyday red table wine.

    This is a good wine for the price. Nothing fancy, but something I'd be comfortable serving for regular meals.

      Well rounded

      By Todd the Enthusiast

      from New York

      Comments about Primal Roots 2011 Red Blend, California:

      Really well rounded and takes the best characteristics from each of the grapes represented. Chocolate, ripe red fruit and a hint of vanilla can all be found... and a super smooth finish!

          Let is breathe and open up. Like the wine, couldn't stand the reviewer. He comes off as pretentious and frankly, a little on the creepy side. Let's all get real, please...

                  Fun and Bold Cali Red Blend

                  Staff Reviewer

                  Comments about Primal Roots 2011 Red Blend, California:

                  Here's another one of these interesting red blends that packs a lot of punch for the price. The soft and supple black currant and floral notes from the Merlot are well balanced with the black cherry and cassis from the Cab and the brambly berries from the Zin. It's a big wine but not overpowering as it stays smooth on the palate through the finish.

                        Brought it over for a Thanksgiving get together. Everybody enjoyed the nice flavors of the wine, but they did notice the thin texture of it. Good for the price.

                              I would not hesitate to serve this at a wedding. It is well rounded enough to pair with many foods and is a good sipper for those guests that choose to drink wine for the entire reception.
