10.5% alcohol
from the Dornfelder grape
$7.89
A "concept brand" that has floral packaging.
Purple and crimson colors. Some transparency. Dark berries on the palate. It did have some sweetness as the saleswoman had indicated which is not what I originally was expecting. I bought it our of curiosity but finished it over several evenings somewhat reluctantly. Probably should have poured it out rather than finish it. Will not purchase again. That said, I still may go back to the shop and try the Bloom Riesling. Maybe I will like that one better.

i'd skip the riesling, too.
it's ok, but not nearly as focused or balanced as others for hardly any more money.

VH, thanks for the advice. I'll trust your impression.
