Name: Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau
Variety: 100% Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: Regular Price $15 Sale price $7.95

Shop Review: Wine Spectator
An aromatic red, with floral and white peach notes accenting the black raspberry and plum flavors. This is open-knit and fresh, offering light tannins on the finish. 

My Review:  An interesting wine. It is only the second wine I've tried from the Beaujolais region and it has shared the same character, Raspberry yogurt. Perhaps this is due to the extremely young age but the wine is overpoweringly lactic. It comes in creamy with almost a milk like mouth feel. It was monochromaticly raspberry with little to not acid and a very short length.
