Tasting- Peter Mertes Dornfelder

Name: Peter Mertes Dornfelder
Variety: Sweet Red Dornfelder
Region: California
Country: Germany

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: This sweet wine demonstrated its sweetness on the nose bringing up strawberry aromas. The aroma also felt fresh and crisp, reminding me of freshly cut flowers in spring. This wine tasted very nice, was smooth bringing in that sweet strawberry flavors. This wine was balanced and not too sweet although the fruity flavors dominated the flavor profile.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
