Koine Zinfandel
A small stock Zinfandel style red, picked by hand in Commack.
The story behind Koine
Primitivo and Zinfandel are the same grape, and both make a ripe, generous red. Expect dark berry, dried fig, a little black pepper and warm baking spice, with soft tannin and a full body. Primitivo from southern Italy tends to run plush and forward, easy to like young and steady with grilled food.
We keep Koine Primitivo in Commack in very small quantity, one or two bottles at a time. Call ahead and we will hold one for you.
