Tasting - Manoir du Carra Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay

Name: Manoir du Carra Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay
Region/Country: Beaujolais, France
Year: 2014
Price: $12-- Sale $4.95

Winery Review: A pretty, floral wine, with a rose petal notes underscoring the rich pomegranate and sweet plum flavors. The fresh acidity is balanced, and a light spice note lingers on the finish.

My Review: There was an oaky aroma from the beginning but it was actually not at all tannic on the palate. Its texture was very smooth and there was a hint of licorice and black pepper that hinted the spiciness. I would consider this red an 'easy wine' to sip on. I tasted this wine on its own with no food this time. I would give it an 88.
