2007 Cantele Primitivo $12.99

This is a wine that I have had many times and love it. Made from 100% Primitivo and aged in oak for 6 months. Ruby red in color with a light garment rim. On the nose I picked up some good minerals with some nice cherries and for some damn reason green ferns. Don't ask, sometimes my nose picks up strange shit. There was even some light floral notes with light spices. On the palate this was more of a traditional rustic wine. I mean I was picking up a light iron or rusty notes. The tannins were pretty soft and then it was all over. Just like the first time you did it, it was great, you knew it was happening, then poof...it was done. Very nice for the price. Time for a smoke.
