Tasting- Coreto Tinto

Name:  Coreto

Variety:  Tinto

Region:  Lisbon

Country:  Portugal

Year:  2010

Price:  $6.95

VC 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 notes:  This wine was medium-bodied and I could definitely taste some spice more than fruit.  It is fairly dry and reminds me of a lot of red table wines I encountered in Europe throughout Portugal and Spain.
