Tasting - Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder 2014 - Mar. 17, 2016














Name: Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder
Variety: Dornfelder
Country: California, Germany
Year: 2014
Price: $12

Winery 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. (The Vintage Cellar)

My Review: And to end the week, there is this surprise! For the first time, I liked the sweet wine the most out of all. I disliked the other wines so much this turned out pretty good! The smell was fruity as hell. It was like smelling actual fruit with sugar on top. I know it isn't correct to say, but the wine smelled so sweet there was no way it wouldn't be. The taste was pretty damn sweet but it held its own. I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't over bearing like many others we have tasted this week. Honestly, I wouldn't buy this bottle but it was my favorite of the week.
