Winery Review: The trademark German red grape varietal Dornfelder has a lovely purity of soft red berry fruit. Integrated soft tannins combined with forward fruit flavors make for a perfectly balanced everyday sipping wine. Great with grilled red meat, sausage, and chicken. Best served slightly chilled.
My Review: This wine was a bit too sweet for my liking. There was an obvious berry component on the nose, perhaps cranberries. There was a kick of black pepper near the finish, which was interesting for a sweet red. Overall, it was very much like sugary water with black pepper sprinkled in. I would give this wine an 80. I tasted this wine on its own with no food.
