1 person found it helpfulAug 22nd, 2013Nice ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Sweet nose of cherries, strawberries, blueberries, vanilla, spices and black pepper.
Medium body with medium acidity.
Sweet on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, red currants, licorice and black pepper.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This German Dornfelder is simple, unbalanced and sweet. This is not my style, but it is drinkable.
I don't see any reason to drink this, though.

If you like semi sweet wine you'll like this one. Strong hints of cherry and blackberry. Only 9.5% alcohol. I prefer a drier wine but this is light and refreshing.
