Optimally ripened with a firm grasp on continuous, slightly juicy, blackberry fruit and showing an uncommon sense of sophistication and crafting at every stop along its way, Green & Red's Heminway Estate Reserve is a deep, beautifully balanced, moderately full–bodied Zin that claims more layered complexity than most. It is a generous, yet carefully measured effort, with great fruity reserve, and, well guaranteed to age famously for no fewer than another half-dozen years, it is so nicely polished that it will shine at the table tonight.

The roots of Pajaru estate are deeply embedded in the history and symbols of Puglia. The shepherd, known as the “Picuraru” in dialect, embodies that seasonal toil typical of the slow work required to produce a great wine. It is from the tenacity and perseverance that the shepherds have in tackling their work that we were inspired by the creation of the Primitivo “PICURARU”.

Eight Spur Zinfandel displays loads of bright strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry flavors with hints of cinnamon, tobacco leaf and vanilla. Medium-full bodied with mouthwatering acidity, and fine-grained tannins, the finish is opulent and long.
