This wine was obviously meant to be consumed in 2012 around the holidays, but a bottle ended up at the tasting. Still going with that sweet cherry and fresh acid. This wine is all about the simple pleasures of red fruit.

One Heck of a Saturday: Year-in, year-out, the best Beaujolais Nouveau I've come across on the market. Sure there's some sweet cherry fruit, but no sugar cane, banana Runts fakeness a la Duboef. Pure cherry and licorice flavors, on a soft frame with fresh acid. Goes down easy, and this is one of the biggest crowd-pleasers to have around for family during the holidays.

Yes, it's Beaujolais Nouveau. I always try a bottle of Chermette's, as it's hard to come by unless you're lucky to live in DC and can get it at Weygandt's shop. It's the best around (not bubblegum banana), but I'd rather pay a buck or two more and get their Cuvée Traditionalle. Sigh, gladly Weygandt has more and more Cru Beaujolais each time I go back. Get it if you want, it drinks like juice. It is delicious, but the Crus are way more so.
