initial whiffs of smoke and green leaves blow off to reveal intense flower and white-pepper notes. densely concentrated with blackberry and boysenberry flavors, this long island blaufränkisch (with 25% dornfelder) is taut and crisp with acidity and crushed-stone minerality. a fresh herb note and a hint of bay leaf lend a savory tone to the finish. delicious.
