Dornfelder (German Red Wine!)
Reviewed by grapesofsloth via

Germany isn't noted for its red wines, but it is actually grows more Pinot Noir than any other country bar France. Its second-most planted red grape is Dornfelder. I picked up a bottle in Bandon recently in an off-licence whose name I can't remember. Priced in low teens, I think.
Anyway, I was very impressed. I've had lots of German Riesling before, but this was quite possibly the first German red wine I ever tasted. Fresh on the palate, and medium/light bodied. Not unlike a good Cru Beaujolais. Dark cherry bubblegum, rose petals, aniseed, even a touch of rubber.
