Tasting- Doural Tinto

Name: Doural Tinto
Variety:Touriga Franca
Region: Duoro
Country:Portugal
Year: 2009
Price:$8.95

Winery Review:"This Portuguese tinto(red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues.  The nose is vibrant and fruity.  The palate offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure.  Pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses and fish."

My Review: Excellent red wine with subtle fruity flavors, brilliantly combined.  This wine was very silky and smooth to the palate, yet kept its rich fruity flavors.  Great wine if you're looking for a smooth red wine that isn't too sweet, yet holds onto its rich fruit aromas and flavors.  I enjoyed this wine without food, but I believe it would pair well with a sharp cheese.
