Tasting - Shine Dornfelder

Shine Dornfelder
Name: Heinz Eifel 'Shine'
Variety: 100% Dornfelder
Region: Rheinhessen
Country: Germany
Year: 2011
Price: $10.99

Winery review: The reflection of the sun’s rays off the Rhein river help to ripen these hearty red grapes, thus producing a full bodied wine with flavors of dark red fruits with a well balanced sweetness.

My review: The nose of this unique varietal smelled of plums and black cherry. Shine tasted sweet, as implied by the label, with hints of blueberries and rose water. A pleasant surprise!
