Expert 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: I love sweet red wines and this one was my favorite of the tasting. The smell was outstanding, I got strawberry, raspberry, and other red fruits. The taste was slightly sweet and crisp, not too much tannins, which I like. The taste of the fruit made this very refreshing, I could drink a whole bottle.

I did not pair this with food
