Like most Beaujolais, this wine is light, fruity and warm. It is inky red in color, and has a broad, tart flavor with the barest hint of oak and a sweet fruit finish. The alcohol content is rather high.
My husband said, “you really feel the tanginess in the back of your throat.”
Compared to the other red wines Wollersheim Winery and Cedar Creek Winery offered, we enjoyed the imports from the winemaker’s family better than those bottled on-site. This Beaujolais was no exception.
