    2021 Red Tail Ridge Blaufrankisch (Finger Lakes, NY) 2R

    The aroma is lively with prominent violet scents accompanied by subtle savory and peppery hints. Refreshingly crisp, with robust tannins, it maintains a clean profile and concludes with a moderately dry finish.

    About The Varietal

    Blaufrankisch

    Blaufrankisch is a dark-skinned grape variety cultivated extensively in Austria and Hungary. Traditional Blaufrankisch wines are deeply hued, medium-bodied red wines characterized by dark, black-fruit flavors and a subtle touch of peppery spiciness.

    About The Producer

    Red Tail Ridge

    Red Tail Ridge Winery specializes in limited-production wines, believing quality is more important than quantity. They produce small lots (sometimes less than 50 cases) to further preserve and enhance the varietal characteristics that they generate in the vineyard. Sensing the potential of the Finger Lakes wine region in the 90s, husband and wife Nancy and Mike established Red Tail Ridge in 2005 after purchasing undeveloped land the year prior. IT took them three years to plant the vineyards, which now have about 20 acres. Nancy and Mike have been challenging mainstream thinking with their plantings of nontraditional grapes in the Finger Lakes.
