Tasting - Coreto Tinto

Name: Coreto Tinto
Variety: Tinta Roriz, Castelao, Caladoc, Alicante Bouschet, Pinot Noir, Touriga Nacional
 Region: Estremadura
Country: Portugal
Year: 2010
 Price: $6.95

 Winery review: Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit dominating the warm spice note and acidity.  Soft tannins keep the wine together.

My review:  Fruity, almost sweet wine.  It was not heavy at all and went down pretty smooth.  I would like to try this again at a later date to fully appreciate its complexity.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
