Angel Vine 2014 The Hellion

Angel Vine 2014 The Hellion


Portland, Oregon's Angel Vine winery is known for its exceptional work with Zinfandel and this red blend includes 46% Primitivo, 46% Petite Sirah and 8% Zinfandel. Although U.S. labeling requires the Primitivo designation, the origins of the grape are essentially identical to those of Zinfandel, so in essence this is a Zinfandel dominant red blend. The aromatics of this wine allude to dark berry jam, with notes of black peppercorn and hints of lavender. On the palate, it offers flavors of blueberry and black cherry balanced by brambly notes with hints of dried herbs and a lively clove spiciness that lingers on the finish. - Reviewed by Gary Hayes
