2021 Nittnaus Anita und Hans Ried Altenberg Jois Blaufränkisch, Austria, Leithaberg, Wine Review
This is Blaufrankish from Austria and if you have never tried that varietal, it is being used quite successfully in central Europe and especially Austria. Garnet/Purple/Blue in color, clear and bright. The nose is deep and very nice. Aromas of Goji Berries, dust, white pepper and tea leaves. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, sour cherries, sour green apples, and slight pepper all in a very nice almost seamless package. Long finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. It would be nice with veal. Drink over the next eight to twelve years.

NV Bryn Mawr Vineyards Brut Rosé, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Wine Review
Salmon pink in color with a touch of orange. A nice mousse with small bubbles. Clear and bright. The nose is expressive with strawberries, and a touch of cranberries. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is nicely balanced with crisp acidity. Flavors of cherries and slight cranberries. Long finish. This is delightful on its own and very food friendly. It will work well with salty and fried appetizers. Drink over the next few years.
