Shop 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 purple red wine has wonderful ripe fruit flavors filling the nose. Layers of plums and raspberries combine with a slight spice on the mid-palette to make this wine excellent to casually drink.
