* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A simple, fresh wine that has hints of tropical fruits as well as crisp acidity. There is plenty of green fruit flavor to make this a fine food wine.

A complex blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zweigelt, this rich wine is smooth, with a structure that sits easily on the fruit. The small proportion of Zweigelt provides a pepper character, but the dominating Merlot gives ripe, juicy flavor.

The wine is not named after Austria’s emperor, but after a Pitnauer family member. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Zweigelt works well, giving a powerful, dry, concentrated wine with big tannins. At this stage, the wood is rather too dominant, but that should soften over the next year.

This red from the Bärnreiser vineyard, named after the Bienenfresser, or bee eater, is packed with great, ripe, chewy flavors and textures, very peppery and with layers of wood for complexity.
