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: On the nose I picked up a lot of different fruits including raspberry, and plum. It was very sweet, but I did pick up a slight pepper flavor to it as well. The wine did have a lingering after taste, but it was a pleasant one.
