"Raspberry and sweet herbal tones give way to wet stone as the 2021 Lemberger Estate Red Mountain opens in the glass. This is sweetly floral and refreshing with ripe wild berry fruits enlivened by zest acidity. This ends with peppery floral tones."
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.
