Winery Review: “Delectable, fruity nose underscored with aromas of red fruits and notes of nutmeg spice. Generous and aromatic on the palate, with supple, mellow tannins. Notes of red fruit and spice offer depth and lively acidity. Expressive, generous and enjoyable right now, this is a perfect wine to enjoy with a slight chill. Pair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses.” – Taub Family Selections

 

Wine Folly: Primary flavors include “pomegranate, blackberry, violet, potting soil, and peony”

I could taste the blackberry.

 

My Review:

A month ago I would have said that I really didn’t like red wine very much. However, the past three weeks have really changed that. To be honest, I like red wines significantly more than whites wines now, and this Beaujolais has confirmed that.

I LOVED this wine. Primary smells include raspberry, blackberry, and vanilla. It tasty sweet and acidic, with fruit notes of strawberry and orange. This wine wasn’t particularly tannic, and had a smooth and cedar reminiscent finish that I though was fantastic. I though this wine was fantastic, and I would absolutely pay 25$ for it again.
