2021 Left Foot Charley Blaufrankisch Old Mission Peninsula

Dry red wine made from Old Mission grown Blaufränkisch. Aged for seven months in French Oak. The nose is driven by ripe, fresh blueberry and black cherry fruit, the edges are savory here with sweet herbs and a sprinkling of black pepper. Balance is the name of the game on the medium-bodied palate, where ripe sweet blueberry and cherry fruit flavors mingle with more spice and just a little bit of summer herb. With a low oak footprint and acidity providing the framework rather tannins, this is a wine that seems meant for young drinking that should also age and develop nicely for at least a few years.
