Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder 2014

Name: Peter Mertes Sweet Red Dornfelder 2014
Variety: Sweet Red Dornfelder
Year: 2014
Country: Germany
Region: Rheinhessen
Price: $12
Wine Critic 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:  The red blend smelled a bit musty on the nose with the smell of dried red berries.  The taste was much sweeter and there was a light fruity finish.  This seemed like a well balance wine that I would enjoy tasting again.  

This wine was not consumed with food.
