•Review "

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. "

•I enjoyed this wine very much.  It was a deep brick color and tasted like plums chocolate and cherries.  It had a velvety texture in my mouth and I thought of eating a cupcake with it.  I think this wine could be better if the sweetness was lowered a little, but I would try it again if I had the chance.
