I am chillin with the Leo Hillinger 2006 Zweigelt and I am starting to form an opinion.

Zweigelt is a grape related to the Blaufrankisch (I checked to make sure I spelled it correctly) and like its cousin is also found throughout Austria. Developed checmially by Fritz Zweigelt in the early 1900's (see pic above), It tastes a lot like a Pinot, but very stout. The grape has a serious amount of structure and umph - almost as if it from a longer growing season than what I assume is a shorter growing season than most of Europe in the Austrian hills. It is young, but drinking fantastically. You will not want to let this guy age any longer. The Wall Street Journal gave this guy a good to very good rating and I will give it the same.
AppelationAmerica.com says the name translates to "double your money"
Really?
