The Story
This is 100% Blaufrankisch. Sacramento River Delta meets Lower Austria! Blaufrankisch is a dark skinned variety native to Austria and parts of eastern Europe with very primary dark fruit aromas and flavors, with hints of black tea and herbs. It's all the rage at the moment, because its combo of fruitiness and serious structure makes it a drinkable, slightly chillable, food friendly, and just versatile wine for any occasion. This wine hails from a single vineyard in the sunny Sacremento River Delta. Soils are sandy clay heavy, retaining tons of moisture and leading to elegant, perfumed, ripe wines. 'Blau-blau' fits neatly in this description; it is fruity, with blackberry jam and black tea notes, aromatically rich, with pleasant minerally tannins and a long mouthwatering finish. Pair it with roasted chicken thighs over braised beans and kale.
