Oso Libre 2011 Nativo Estate Primitivo (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Nativo Estate
Variety: Primitivo California
Winery: Oso Libre / Paso Robles

Not quite as showy as its cousin Zinfandel, this Primitivo takes more time to emerge from its shell, eventually revealing scents of white pepper and graphite. There is absolutely no show of Zin’s traditional hamminess either; instead, mouth-watering minerality and a vibrant acid structure lingers on the palate.
