Also known as Blaufrankisch, Lemberger was a favorite of Dr. Walter Clore: “the father of Washington wine.” He encouraged the grape’s planting throughout the Yakima Valley AVA, which is exactly the source of the grapes for this big, red wine. Rich in tannins, this wine reveals aromas of pepper, fig and ripe boysenberries. On the palate, the wine delivers smoked meat, ripe stone cherries and and a light peppery spice.
