Primus "The Blend" Apalta Red

The 2022 Primus The Blend does an admirable job blending a wide range of varieties and not veering into cloudy, unfocused territory. An herbal, leathery, slightly floral nose introduces a ripe yet pliable, dynamic palate. The finish is stunningly rich, energetic and succulent and lingers with spice-driven nuances. The blend is 40% Carménère, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
