Lemberger

The 2016 is delicious. Also tried the 2019 but the 2016 was the clear winner.

Fruity and minty. Yummy! Fun to drink.

Aromas of black cherries, peppermint note. Mineral. Broad, bit flabby balance. Hot. Spritz. Simpler in the flavors than aromas. Notable bitterness.

Lemberger (not Cab Franc).

Not sure what to think about this one. Less than 13% abv. This is a bottle that is a little bit perplexing, definitely not the best wine you have ever had, yet just can't stop sipping on. The nose of this is really interesting... peppermint, black cherry, ginger, cola. Entry has a touch of heat. Not necessarily acidic although it certainly progressed that way after being open for a few hours. Palate was underripe black cherry, mint, cola, herb, black tea and a hint of pipe tobacco. Medium bodied wine. Finishes rather soft and without much tannin. Really good balance and structure, although I do not think I would hold this wine for very long. This is my first Lemberger and I really should probably pursue others to compare as it is a variety I don't know much about.

Holy petrol palate with menthol up front followed by black cherry and licorice finishing with anise and a ripened cherry coke backdrop
