Blaufränkisch
Kollwentz 2008 Leithagebirge Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Wood-dominated wine, at this stage suppressing the concentrated fruit, rich black berries and elegant tannins. The wine needs at least four years.

Gunter Triebaumer 2008 Reserve Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $38
The wood is still dominant on this dark-colored wine, although there is a very fine fruity element. Big and powerful and needs to age, this is impressive and firm, with a final line of pepper and acidity. Screwcap.

Paul Achs 2010 Heideboden Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $27
Tannic, red fruits and a firm structure characterize a wine that offers spice and wood as a backdrop. There is power here, partnered with elegance.

Tinhof 2008 Blaufränkisch (Leithaberg)
A severe wine, dominated by acidity and tight tannins. There is a juicy red cherry element as well to make the wine attractive while retaining its serious side. The finish brings more berry fruit and acidity.

Mariell 2009 Blaufränkisch (Leithaberg)
- $17
Smooth and ripe, this is a rich black-fruited wine, its tannins comfortably ensconsed in a rich cushion. There is acidity to balance and spice which, along with the full-bodied fruit character, makes the wine ready to drink now.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2010 Edelgrund Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $19
With its flavors of spice, dark fruit and a hint of herb, plus its touch of rusticity and tense acidity, this is classic Blaufränkisch. Its juicy berry flavors emerge through the tannic texture, revealing a final flavor that is elegant while also rich. Screwcap.

Iby 2008 Chevalier Reserve Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $45
This is dry and firm—its tannins immediately noticeable. There are hints of juicy acidity in the background, but this solid, dense and serious wine is unlikely to soften much more. Pair with winter stews and rich meat dishes.

Weinkellerei Tiedl 1999 Barrique Blaufrankisch Blaufränkisch (Neusiedlersee)
- $15
An easy-to-drink wine, dominated by aromas of juicy, sweet red fruits. There are firm tannins and some wood flavors but always sweet fruit underneath. A fruity, forward wine with some dry tannins at the end.
— R.V.
