@Byron C Mayes says it all in his review. This sweetish, rich #pfalz #dornfelder makes a compelling alternative to bottled Sangria poolside on a Houston August Saturday. If you chill it below the suggested 60°F, with the outside heat it warms quickly and offers wet slate aroma undertones to that cool dark fruit. This might make an interesting pairing with slightly spicy goat curry or Tandoori lamb chops. 🤔

Deep and dark glass-clinging blackish red. Inviting nose of blackberry and raspberry. Sweet-ish dark berry compote defines the full-bodied palate along with medium minus acidity and next to no tannins. Long, dark boysenberry finish. A true upgrade to the standard Dornfelder offerings out there. Full of flavor and weighty but still a nice easy drinking red. Perfect for that drinker who likes a touch of sweetness without going full on candy. Pair with hearty spicy dishes and hard cheeses. Drink now, well chilled.

Agree with most. Had the 2016 with chicken thighs on top of small spinach and roasted potatoes. Cover d with a basomic reduction. Very nice wine from the first pour. A little jammy but noice mouth feel and smooth finish.

Very first dornfelder grape, a little on the sweetside of candied cherry, sweet cranberry but with a little vanilla as well. Not to shabby.
