Lightwell Survey Los Idiots 2024 Review
One of the fun things about red blends in the U.S. is that anything goes. So why not throw some white varieties in the mix? This one-of-a-kind blend from Virginia’s Lightwell Survey brings together Riesling, Blaufränkisch, and Cabernet Franc in a co-ferment. The result is a wonderfully expressive wine that pops on the nose with tart berries and savory balsamic. The palate is vibrant with spiced red fruit and a quenching acidity. Toss this in the fridge and enjoy with a light chill.
