Winery Review:  The reflection of the sun’s rays off the Rhein river help to ripen these hearty red grapes, thus producing a full bodied wine with flavors of dark red fruits with a well balanced sweetness. Enjoy slightly chilled on its own or with cheeses, salads pasta and fish.

My Review:  In the wine glass this wine is a dark red.  On the palate it has a more medium, denser feel to it.  It smells of dark red berries like blackberry.  It has a lower alcohol percentage which did not give this red much of a kick.  It tasted of cherries with a mineral finish.  I highly enjoyed this red wine.  It was sweet, but not too sweet and very drinkable.  

I drank this wine after eating food.
