Tasting-Manoir du Carra


NameManoir du Carra
Variety: Beaujolais Nouveau; Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price: Regular $12; Sale $4.95

Winery Review: A pretty, floral wine, with a rose petal note underscoring the rich pomegranate and sweet plum flavors. The fresh acidity is balanced, and a light spice note lingers on the finish.

My Review: Carrying rose to violet, mauve pigments, Manoir du Carra, had an sharp alcohol smell with under tones of dark fruit, rose, and rosemary. This wine did not have much body and was rather flat and watery. There were some hints of overripe strawberry and it was also had a very tannic aftertaste. 
Food?:  did not pair with food.
