Weninger 2009 Saybritz Blaufränkisch (Eisenberg)
- $30
Firm and rich, this is both structured and fruity, showing a touch of wood along with the spiced blackberry flavor. Now ready to drink, it will also age over several years.

Weninger 2007 Merlot (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Very soft, open wine. It is rich, with an opulent texture, while its tannins are a whisper among the ripe red berry fruits and sweetness. The acidity brings the wine attractively to a close.

Weninger 2008 Cuvée Franz Red (Burgenland)
A warming, ripe wine, freshly juicy, but with some light structure. It is a wine to be consumed early, but it has all right fruits and tannins, layered with licorice and chocolate.

Weninger 2006 Kalkofen Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
A heavily tannic wine, probably with too much extraction for Pinot Noir. That said, you can still taste red cherry and strawberry flavors, so the wine may well soften. Keep for a year.

Weninger 2003 Spern Steiner Kekfrankos (Sopron)
- $45
Weninger already makes impressive Blaufränkisch in Austria, so his endeavors with the same grape in Hungary (named Kekfrankos here) are, not surprisingly, successful. A wave of anise, black pepper and blueberry on the nose, paired with smooth, elegant and structured flavors of the same on the palate, impress. The wine has depth but a dry, poised overall character…

Weninger 2011 Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- $16
The Mittelburgenland appellation is dedicated to the typicity of Blaufränkisch. This ripe, fruity effort shows just the right combination of plum and tannin, along with pure, bright acidity. Age for 3–4 years. Screwcap.

Weninger 2008 Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Online Exclusive
A lean, austere, mineral-dominated wine. Maybe it needs time, but it seems to be all extracted structure and not much fruit. Screwcap.
