  March 12, 2024 - Pale garnet with a copper tinge and medium viscosity (13.8% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of red cherry, baking spice, pomegranate, cranberry, violets and crushed rock. The palate is dry with high acidity, a medium (-) body and medium (-) tannins. Red fruit coupled with some spice, minerality and a touch of violet makes for a refreshing and crisp wine with very little astringency and a nice mouthfeel. The finish is surprisingly long on this aromatically challenged wine that I quite like. I picked it as a lighter pairing for a traditional Lebanese dish of chicken and rice. I think the crunchy red fruit will do nicely with the spiced rice (caraway seed) whilst the lithe tannins and zippy acidity will accentuate the chicken along with the toasted pine nuts and almond slivers. This is an even blend of Pinot Noir and Lemberger (aka Blaufrankisch). 88 points from me for this $22 bottle makes it a 3 star wine to drink till 2028.
