Weingut Graf Neipperg, Württemberg Qualitatswein (Germany) Lemberger Trocken 2011

You could confuse this Lemberger — aka Blaufrankish — for a Pinot Noir because of its sour cherry and black cherry fruit, but it has more tannin, spice and substance than Pinot Noir, and is leaner in structure.  Its body is just on the full side of medium, and its acidity is high, making this a refreshing wine despite its inherent gravitas.  A well-made red in the lean, spicy style; try it with turkey sausage, pork chops, vegetable lasagna or grilled portabella mushrooms.
