Shop/wine critic/winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Courtney/ Although it produces vast amounts of well-priced fresh, mostly white wines, lovely reds like are broadening Touraine's appeal. This wine may seem familiar to you. It is a sibling of the Touraine Sauvignon Blanc we've offered for years. Bright cherry and strawberry fruits are followed by a soft smooth palate.
Your Review: This was a surprisingly delicious red wine with a smooth and exotic taste with a distinct smell of some sort of berries. The smell matched the taste so it was a pleasant experience because you knew exactly what you were going to taste. This wine had significantly less tannins  and wasn't as dry as other traditional red wines.
