Channing Daughters - Blaufrankisch - Long Island, 2017 (750ml)
Product Details
The aromas and flavors are pronounced, sexy and full of purple flowers, black plum, black raspberry, boysenberry, blackberry, lavender, violet, tobacco leaf and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration.
All they did was pick ripe, healthy, beautiful grapes and de-stem them in a bin. The alcohol is moderate (12%), the acid is juicy and balanced; the tannins are present but soft and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure, bold aromatics and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, de-stemmed, fermented wild/ambiently, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one-ton bins. The wine spent seven months in older oak hogsheads and barrels. The wine was bottled on April 27th, 2018. Our 2017 Blaufrankisch Mudd West Vineyard is a great match with grains, game meats, pork and lamb chops, beef roasts, mushrooms, aged cheeses and veal.
