Reviews:
- Wine Enthusiast: The nose of this organically farmed wine displays aromas of ripe cherry and strawberry with hints of thyme and toasted oak. Medium to full in body, it offers medium tannins and ample acidity. Ripe red-fruit flavors repeat on the palate with a touch of herbaceousness.
- James Suckling: Raspberries, blueberries, dark cherries and herbs. Full-bodied with dusty tannins. Juicy and structured with a dusty feel to it. Flavorful finish. A little lean at the end. Vegan. Give it a year or two of bottle age. Try from 2023.
Producer Information
Primus is a leading brand in the Chilean premium segment and a preeminent example of Chilean quality capabilities. The name Primus is Latin and means the first or the first among its peers, and for good reason. The winery was founded more than 20 years ago by Agustin Hunneus. It was truly a pioneering brand as the first blend of the signature red grapes of Chile: Cabernet and Carmenere. Today, The Blend is still the standard bearer for Primus, and has been joined by two single varietal wines: Primus Cabernet Sauvignon and Primus Carmenere. Fruit is selected from the most renowned areas in Chile for red varieties: Apalta, a sub-region Colchagua, and Maipo. These are food wines, known for their balance, elegance and freshness. Aging in oak barrels and foudres gives elegance and finesse to the wines. All farming practices are organic.
