About this product
Washington's most distinctive red variety, Lemberger (Blaufränkisch) produces wines of vibrant acidity, red cherry, and spice in Yakima Valley's continental climate. Kiona's Lemberger is a benchmark — genuinely approachable yet with enough structure and character to stand alongside any Pacific Northwest red.
