Lighter in body than the last bottle, but with good acidity and a bight strawberry smarties flavor. That kinda sums it up. Still not bad for $6, but not the screaming deal the last bottle was.

If you see this at grocery outlet, BUY! Not a stunner, but an 88-89 pt wine with good earthy character, good balance, and some fruit as well. You can't do better for 6 dollars, or really, 10 or 12. Still has a few years of a curve left to it too, really nice stuff.

Agree with Bradbobaggins' opinion - a good cheap wine from Grocery Outlet (if you can find)
My notes....
Nose: Somewhat faint with raspberry, blackberry and sweet tobacco
Taste: Blackberry, black tea, huckleberry - chewy and dry mouthfeel
Finish: Medium length and dry with predominately burnt orange undertones
I'm not usually one to give numbers, but I would give this a solid 89 considering both price ($6) and overall quality.

More 2009 Beaujolais - SF WSET Tasting (David's house, San Francisco, CA): Bricking medium dark ruby color; lifted, roasted berry, ripe raspberry, charcoal, reduction nose; tight yet, tart raspberry, ripe currant, tart red berry palate; needs 2-plus years yet; medium-plus finish

Cherry, both in nose and mouth. A little earthy, but not overly complicated.
