In 1980, Kiona was the first to bottle Lemberger in the US. Some perhaps are more familiar with Lemberger’s other name, Blaufrankisch. Regardless of what you call it, this is a delicious, soft-tannin, blue-fruited red wine. It puts to shame so many trendy, overpriced wines trying to capitalize on the obscure. Pair with sausages, spicy or otherwise.
92 points, Decanter:
"A perennial favourite, it's often the gateway red wine for those new to Red Mountain; it's still only $20, and it always over-delivers. And has for more than 40 vintages now. On the nose, candied strawberries, ripe cherries and dashes of lavender and desert scrub. The palate is a nice melange of ripe berries and savoury desert garrigue, which frames cherries and savoury salinity.”
