Other Blogsite Review:  This red wine was a great deal at Trader Joes for those who like a touch of sweetness with their red wine. This wine is made with the Dornfelder grape used a lot in Germany and has a lot of flavors of plum and cherry. This wine is best served cold and is good on its own or paired with something with a spicier feel such as pizza or a spicy pasta sauce. Next to the moscatelle, this wine is the best wine for the price that we bought when we got a case of wine at Trader Joe's. This wine is very mellow with no tannic dry aftertaste. I would definitely think this wine would be crowd pleaser for the non-hard core red wine drinkers, and for the people who like an off-dry wine. I would definitely buy this again at this price, and maybe buy the case for backyard barbeque.
Review: This wine smelled like it would be dry. There was no hint at the beginning that there would be sugar. Other than the label. I could smell fruit almost a berry and plumb mix, somewhat like the smell when you open a bag of dried fruit, but not quite that strong. It tasted yummy and sweet. I tasted the berries and the other fruits as well as a light floral and vegetable flavor.
