From the Winery:

MUDD WEST VINEYARD
We are always very happy to release a new vintage of our lovely Blaufrankisch. Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. This Blau has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a dark core. The aromas and flavors are sexy and full of purple flowers, black plum, black raspberry, blackberry, lavender, violet, tobacco leaf and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. And all we 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, alluring 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 eight months in older oak hogsheads and barrels.

While irresistible now this wine will be even better with another 6-8 years more bottle aging, so pick up a few extra bottles to taste along its evolution. 158 cases produced. 6 bottle max per customer
