Reserve Weinberg Eisenberg Blaufränkisch

not my thing. i’m not a fan of producers obscuring mineral-driven, bright varietals with new oak tea bags.

I’d plough this Blau. Such a great kick from this grape. I like the tension, the tannin. The “Pinot Noir of the East”, I’ll let debate draw out elsewhere. But lay a sausage on a plate in front of me with a bottle of Blau and that is a fine eastern pairing.
