Good news from the gourmet guide A la Carte:
Each wine that we submitted found itself rated north of the 90-point border—
2010 Sauvignon Blanc Steinmühle - 91 Points
2009 Chardonnay Tatschler - 92 Points
2009 Chardonnay Gloria - 92 Points
2007 Blaufränkisch Setz - 94 Points
2008 Steinzeiler - 95 Points – the highest rating for an Austrian red wine.
Wein.Pur 's headline reads, Autumn is Time for Red Wine, and they've dedicated a special issue to Blaufränkisch.
The Blaufränkisch 'Setz' got an 'Outstanding' as did the 'Steinzeiler,' although the tasters put forth the opinion that the Steinzeiler was down-graded just a bit, because this bottling always demands time in which to mature before showing its full potential.
Blaufränkisch 'Point' was ennobled with an 'Excellent,' and the authors commented, 'great depth of fruit in play here, plenty of chocolate, bitter orange, lime, herb-garden, elderberry and rosemary. On the palate very fine cherry notes, extremely articulate with noteworthy length, depth and balance. Great potential.
