Yum! Why haven’t we been enjoying Siegerrebe the whole time? What is it? As it turns out, this grape is a cross between Gewurtraminer and Madeleine Angevine from the early 20th century Germany. Nowadays, it’s primarily grown only in Canada and Upstate NY. Playful and off-dry without being too sweet, it’s a fun quaff that I recommend if you can find it. This will also pair well with spicy foods. — 8 years ago

A lark pick up at Total Wine, because I'm a sucker for Cabernet Franc and the low ABV of 12.6% made me think that this bottle may deliver more than just new world fruit and spice. Established by a retired surgeon, the winery experimented with many varietals until settling on those that do best in the Puget Sound AVA (e.g. Madeleine Angevine, Siegerrebe, Pinot Noir). This Cab Franc was sourced from the Yakima Valley AVA though, known for producing high quality WA wine. Not much else I can tell you about the winemaker, but the grape itself is a wonderful pairing wine as it's acid helps to cut through fatty meals and the tannins are not too assertive even when young. Paired this one with a spicy eggplant and green bean coconut curry! I wish I had more! ~$18 | #cabernetfranc #yakimavalley #mountbakervineyards
