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.

A ripe nose of quince, hazelnut chocolate, roasted red peppers and creme de cassis. Chewy tannins frame the tight, medium-bodied palate. Pretty long, firm and juicy in the finish. Carmenere, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification. Vegan. Sustainable. Better after 2026.
