  Pale to medium purple. Clean nose of juicy fruit, bubble gum and banana. The nose is youthful and of medium intensity. The palate has cherry and blueberry flavors. The palate is dry, with medium plus acidity and medium minus tannis. The alcohol, body and flavor intensity are all medium. The length is medium minus. It's probably just a little too thin and tart for my tastes in a red wine, but this is really all that a Beaujolais Nouveau is supposed to be. It was a pretty good choice as a Thanksgiving wine and would be even more enjoyable as a summer cooler. Drink now, not intended for ageing.

  DC Wine Bloggers Tasting (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): This is a Beaujolais Nouveau for all the haters out there. For that wine snob who refuses to touch the stuff, this is a wine to pour for them. It's the best Nouveau I've ever had. The nose is rich and explosive with sweet cherries, but I'm impressed by the amount of dark fruit aromas as well. The palate is like a burst of plum, black cherry and there's even some earthy-spicy flavors as well. Great acid makes it fresh and, frankly, delicious.
