Tasting - Candoni Boungiorno Organic Primitivo, Syrah

Name: Candoni Buongiomo
Variety: Blend of Organic Primitivo and Syrah
Region: Puglia
Country: Ialy
Year: Non-vintage
Price: $15

Winery Review: "Black ruby color. Mild, spicy, earthy aromas of spiced berries and plum with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a tingling, brisk earth and cinnamon finish with dusty, coating tannins and moderate oak. A sturdy, earthy red for the table."

My Review: The initial smell was very earthy.  I personally thought it smelled like dirt.  It was more pungent than the whites.  The taste had definite hints of berries which made it delicious.  I liked this wine quite a bit.

Paired with food: Not this time.
