Sutherlands Creek, Primitivo 2006, Geelong ($11)

An OMG moment when we had the first bottle of this a week ago. And strange that I wrote in February that there was no Aussie primitivo, and was having to rely on Italian fare (have never seen Californian Zinfandel in this country). Found this in 6J's aside Prahan Market. A thick dark purple, the second bottle remained strong on vanilla but more pronounced on plum flavours instead of the blackberry flavours experienced on bottle #1. Pat thought there was a little raspberry bouquet thing going on. Bloody good stuff.
