Tasting- Peter Mertes Sweet Red

Name: Peter Mertes Sweet Red
Variety: Merlot 
Region: Rheinhessen

Country: Germany
Year: 2011
Price: $8

Winery review: A 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.

My review: Sweeter than many red wines I have had.The cherry flavors standing out to me. The tannin flavors were definitely easy to pick up on. Overall, it was a pretty good wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
