A Diehl Dornfelder 2007

A new (1944) hybrid grape - all native German grapes, that we can think of as a 'pinot noir' or 'gamay' style. Liter bottle. Bright red cherry with a hint of ripe black berry that is very appealing. (I'm very interested in these German reds, mainly because I have no knowledge of them...). Very quaffable, but little residual sugar. Smells like firewood. I think it may be an acquired taste. But I like it.
