2021 Devious, Primitivo, California
Modern science has established that Primitivo and Zinfandel are genetic twins, separated at birth around two centuries ago. Although the exact history of this grape is Devious in nature, it exhibits many of the qualities that make Zinfandel California's premier grape, but of course, with an Italian flair. Enjoy this wine with hearty American fare or, of course, your favorite pasta dish.
