Claus Preisinger Blaufrankisch 2016
This juicy blaufrankisch was fermented in stainless and matured in old, large format barrels on lees for six months before bottling. Black raspberry, red currants, black cherry is sharpened with cranberry acidity, and weighted with balsamic. At once both juicy and chisled, the acidity here wins out, driving this compact, tight red to a pointed, astringent finish.Tasted: 13 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $23.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
