Shop/Critic/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 impressions: Sweet, red berry nose. Very bright. Less sweet than expected on the tongue. Goes down like water. I haven't had a whole lot of sweet reds, and none from Germany. This is definitely different than others I've had... Less like grape juice (like Chateau Morisette's Sweet Mountain Laurel) and more just a very easy drinking wine. I could see this being a great picnic wine, if you could keep it chilled.
