This is another one of those special wines that I would not have pegged to the gray and soggy 2014 growing season. The 2014 Giorgio Primo is anything but introverted or shy. Indeed, the wine opens to spectacular intensity with a super dark and impenetrable appearance. That inky dark consistency segues to black pepper, spice, leather and blackberry preserves. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, and the wine is aged in barrique (of which 80% is new) for 18 months. This is a great effort. Only 7,000 bottles were produced.
