Sweet and red. At first sip it tastes like an inexpensive restaurant "house" wine: overly sweet. However the face value is deceiving. Candy-apple sweetness is a hallmark of the dornfelder grape. Originally used for blends, new wines are coming to the U.S. market that are pure dornfelder. (Origin: Germany. In case you couldn't tell by the name!) Blue Fish Sweet Reel Red is 95% dornfelder, 5% cabernet sauvignon. Blue Fish is a good solid quality of dornfelder. Pair it with food that counters the sweetness with savory. It works well with Texas Toast too.
