I haven't read the studies, but fairly thorough testing by U.C. Davis says Zin and Primitivo are genetically identical. I think some differences can indeed be chalked up to masal selections and differences in terroir. At any rate, people should rightly have different expectations. They're like twins with different personalities.Tim Teichgraeberhttp://modernwine.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
