Sweet Red Dornfelder

A nice and simple sweet red wine from Germany. Showing black and red fruits with chocolates and sugar.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Sweet, but almost balanced. Not bad at all. Had it chilled, much better.

Joseph Händler is a wine produced in the Rheinhessen region of Germany & produces private label brand for Trader Joe’s. Sweet but you are not getting a port! Made with Dornfelder grape with sweet red fruit aromas. On the palate cherry and plum flavors, spice and vivid acidity. Dry sweet tannins with a slight edge. Ok, a little odd but not a Fav. Be sure to chill a bit.

Gift wine: put a chill on this, very simple medium bodied red w/RS - not a dessert wine & not at all cloying, in fact could have used more vibrant acidity. Darker fruits, under to medium ripeness, hint of mocha - goes down smooth & easy

Good if you are in the mood for a sweeeeeeeet red

Execellent and not too sweet. Similar to Adam Jar but better because the sweetness is balanced.

Sweet. Low tannin. Med low acidity. Good for a casual drink.

A little too sweet

Fresh red cherries. Not too too sweet. Touch of astringency.

To share with friends who may be new to Reds. Not too sugary, but definitely sweet. Crisp on the finish.

Very sweet red. Great as a desert wine.
