Also known as Lemburger, Blaufränkisch is a rare grape to see in the US. This rendition could easily be mistaken for an Austrian Blaufränkisch from a quality producer like Moric. It is high-toned, red-fruited, medium-bodied and best served slightly chilled (65-70 F). Jim Lester has done a fabulous job with this grape.

Tasted at the winery from bottle. Violet color. The grapes come from a vineyard near Ann Arbor. Fuller bodied. Rich with boysenberry and blueberry notes. Jim considers it his version of a Beaujolais. doesn't have the depth of his other reds. A drink now style. 86-87 points.
