  More color than expected. Yes 2022. Mid day med minus garnet. Blueberry and bubble gum aromas. Spritely and charming. Light tannin. Seems extracted for Nouveau. Cherrio!

  Kool-Aid purple in the glass with the distinctive aromas of bubble gum and banana imparted by the carbonic maceration technique used to ferment these grapes, the wine presents fruity flavors of ripe red cherry with only the barest sensation of tannins that are hinted at far more than they are felt.
  
  My pairing this evening was with stuffed shells from the a local Aldi store baked in Rao marinara sauce. Those familiar with this sauce brand know that the fruity sweetness of the tomato absolutely pops, and it is boosted strongly when combined with this fruit-forward wine.
  
  Given that pasta dishes in red sauce typically call for Sangiovese-based Italian wines, this pairing was a roll of the dice that ultimately proved successful. There is nothing particularly deep or elegant or nuanced here, but the dish is in tune with the Beaujolais Nouveau vibe. Rather than a cultured evening at a symphony concert or a cerebral poetry reading, this wine is a beach party in a bottle, where the dress code is more flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts than top hat and tails.
