4 stars-Hendry 2008 Block 24 Primitivo, Napa Valley
Full bodied and full flavored; a Zin with intense fruitiness (plum, blackberry), and toasty, juniper berry overtones. Long finish. Quite powerful. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 1/3 new. 360 cases
Restaurant wine, Issues #139 and #140
87 points 2008 Block 24 Primitivo
Tastes like Zinfandel, a tannic, dry, spicy wine with blackberry, cherry, currant tobacco and leather flavors. Lots of richness here, and it wears its high alcohol well. Enjoy with barbecue. S.H.
