Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Cassoulet with white beans
  • Coq au vin with thick-cut bacon lardons
  • Roasted cornish game hens with chicken liver or pork pate spread underneath the skin before roasting

At first glance this wine appears very light bodied for a Blaufränkisch, but it proves its potency immediately and packs a ton of intense flavor. Meaty venison aromas create instant intrigue that carries through to the pure red cherry and red plum fruit found on the palate. Soft, pretty, silky, and round, this wine is the perfect adventurous alternative for Pinot Noir drinkers.
