User Reviews for Layer Cake Primitivo Jayson Woodbridge
Add your reviewThe best way to describe this is "grapey". It's juicy and sweet but not a fruit bomb. It needs at least a half hour after opening to air out and settle down. Great with ravioli and red sauce.

I like it. It has a lot of that classic Zin smell and some of the flavor. Happily, it was not near the overly jammy side of the Zin scale. For me, the finish kept in the like a lot, but not love category, at this point in time, anyway. A good finish, especially with a zinfandel, is like a ski-jump. And the finish propels one down the slope and sends you off into the wild-blue yonder. But with this, the finish to me seemed a little stunted, and resolved into a slightly bitter mineral taste. This mineral taste was NOT of the sort that is bad in and of itself. It in fact it made it kind of interesting and gave the wine a certain crispness (in fact it could be part of the "terroir"). But for me the wine did not carry through that to the end, so I did not feel propelled, but was kind of left just sitting at the bottom of the ski jump. BUT, it's a variation on the theme, and it kinda makes the wine interesting, so I still think, overall, this Layer Cake Primitivo was pretty good.
Not over-the-top amazing - tannins aren't quite as bold as I like when I sit down to enjoy a glass of wine, and the nose is quite a bit bolder than the flavour. But given the reasonable price point and ready availability, I have a feeling that this will become one of my go-to table wines in the future.

A balance of elegance and power; inky black fruit, spice and white pepper, jammy black cherries, plums, blackberry fruit, truffles, tar, and espresso. Warm and rich in the mouth with a creamy texture; the ripe fruit is well supported by the deep structure of the wine.
Skip dessert tonight and indulge in this sinfully decadent low-calorie alternative! Super bright on both the nose and palate, with juicy, chocolate-covered cherry flavors. Rich, with very smooth tannins; though fermented dry, the Layer Cake is loaded with so much fruit, itrsquo;s almost difficult to believe that it is still so healthy for you.
The most rustic of these three wines, with lots of pepper, roasted herbs, meat juices, charcoal, and scorched earth, this spicy wine has an inky ruby-purple color and lots of body. It comes across like a rustic Zinfandel, but with loads of character and personality, displaying an almost savage intensity to its flavors. This is a wild, adventuresome wine that should drink nicely for several years. Bring on the pizza! Keep in mind that what Jayson Woodbridge is doing is taking his winemaking team from Hundred Acre Vineyard, flying them around the world, and actually making this wine on site from top quality fruit.

Sit back and travel through time...Relax on a hot summer evening, the fountain in the background, church-bells in the distance. - Winery
