Name: Champteloup Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Price: $15
Description: "In the heart of France's Loire River Valley lies the Touraine wine region. Although it produces vast amounts of well-priced, fresh, mostly white wines, lovely reds like this are broadening Touranie's appeal. This wine may sem familiar to you. It is a sibling of the Touraine Sauvignon Blanc winemaking, using no wood and doing as little as possible to preserve freshness. Bright cherry and strawberry fruits are followed by a soft, smooth palate."

Very dry; although wood was supposedly eliminated from the process, that was all that I smelled and tasted. Like sitting in front of a warm, crackling fire.
