Tasting - Peter Mertes Sweet Red



Name:  Peter Mertes
Variety:  Sweet Red Dornfelder
Region:  Rheinhessen
Country:  Germany
Year:  2014
Price:  $12
Winery review:  This wine has soft tannins that combined with forward fruits flavors. This makes for a perfectly balanced sweet sipping wine.
Additional winemaker notes:  This wine is more for a picnic, to be enjoyed with brie or another cheese, not a dessert wine.  This one was pleasantly subtle in its sweetness, and was full of berry flavor.   I did not try this with food.
