Angel Vine 2012 Coyote Canyon Vineyard Primitivo, Columbia Valley, $24
By Great Northwest Wine on November 18, 2015
A number of wineries in Washington continue to enjoy success with some Italian varieties grown along the eastern portion of Columbia Gorge and the Wahluke Slope. Portland winemaker Ed Fus has found a sweet source for Primitivo in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills at Mike Andrews’ vineyard. Beautiful aromas of strawberry-rhubarb preserves, pineapple, blueberry tea, white pepper and fresh mint transition into gorgeously smooth flavors of dark strawberry and plum. It’s mouthfilling with a medium structure that’s balanced rather than hedonistically alcoholic and capped by sweet herbs in the finish.
