Primo Estate 2006 Il Briccone Red (McLaren Vale)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
This unusual blend of Shiraz and Sangiovese strikes an appealing, earthy chord. It’s got plenty of plum, watermelon and strawberry fruit on top of a woodsy underpinning. Long, irresistible finish of vanilla and chocolate. Brawny tannins argue for a steak accompaniment. Best 2011–2013.

Primo Estate 2005 Joseph La Magia Botrytis Riesling-Traminer White (Eden Valley)
- $24
A soft and fruity dessert wine, not overly sweet, but overflowing with peach and apricot flavors, underscored by orange and lime zest. Imported by USA Wine West.

Primo Estate 2004 La Biondina (Adelaide, not Adelaide Hills) White (Adelaide Hills)
- $16
This is a mutt of a white, an unexpected blend of Colombard, Riesling and Sauvignon that comes off like Gewürz at first blush. It offers honeyed, earthy aromas and nectarine, peach, floral and orange flavors all front-loaded on the palate. Finishes dry. Imported by USA Wine West.

Primo Estate 2008 La Biondina White (McLaren Vale)
- $19
This unusual blend of Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc really works. There’s well-defined acidity and an intense tropical flower character that floats over a base of orange blossom and citrus fruit. It’s light-bodied and offers an intense note of honeysuckle on the short-to-medium finish. Drink now.

Primo Estate 2006 La Biondina Colombard (Adelaide Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Thickly textured and pulpy, this wine features citrus and melon flavors, then finishes on a tangy, grapefruity note.

Primo Estate 2003 La Biondina White (Adelaide Hills)
“The little blonde,” as its name translates, is made of Colombard. It’s thick and round in the mouth, with peach, apricot and grapefruit flavors that persist through the finish. A good choice if crispness isn’t high on your list of priorities.

Primo Estate 2005 La Biondina (Adelaide, not Adelaide Hills) White (Adelaide Hills)
- $15
This blend of Colombard, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc is an odd wine, giving straw/stable notes on the nose and lemon, pink grapefruit and straw flavors on the palate. Goes peachy toward the finish. Light and soft. Imported by USA Wine West.
