Variety: Riesling
Region: California
Country: US
Year: 2013
Price: $6

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.

My Review: Medium yellow color. Aromas of fresh apricot, melon, and pineapple. I did not find it to have red berry characteristics on the nose like the review above. It was initially sweet on the palate, with a slightly acidic mid-palate and notes of pineapple. I thought this wine was very well balanced and I would drink again, although it was not anything spectacular.

I tasted this without food.
