Wine of the tasting! Very impressed! Dark blueberry and bramble fruit. Begs for cheese with a nice dry finish!

2014 vintage. Good richness and concentration. Dark brambly fruit and pretty good grip in the tannic structure. Fresh blackberry, mulberry, dried violets, black rocks, vanilla, black pepper, clove. Good complexity and length.

A nice change of pace for a red! Fruit forward, medium/full body with a light finish. Very pleasant on the nose. Easy drinking fare with a tannic twist as it uses the Blue Franc grape - different and quite nice. Can easily be enjoyed standalone or with a light snack, does not overpower. Nice glass!

Jul 18th, 2016Still a dry wine but very good for those that prefer semi-sweet reds like myself.

A harmless Blaufränkisch that lacks the oiliness and mystery one might hope for but makes up by pairing extremely well with food; versatile, easy drinking
