My Review:
This wine presents a clean ruby color, like you almost imagine from a movie. On the nose, there is a light fruity scent reminiscent of cherries and raspberries, which is mildly jammy. Upon tasting, this wine has a slightly acidic start and lovely mild tannins. The wine is also fruity, mildly smokey/oaky, and has a lovely velvety mid-palette that transitions nicely into a nice lasting finish. A little sharp on the sides of the tongue, but still a fantastic wine to start my reviews for my time in Germany. 83-84/100
