Domaine Manoir du Carra (Gamay)

Variety: Gamay (Beaujolais)
Region: Burgundy
Country: France
Year: 2011

Winery review: 
Redolent of strawberries and roses, fragrant and medium bodied.  Refreshing, tart finish.  

My review:  Smells very light and fruity -- blackberry and cherry mainly but a hint of strawberry as well. Has a bit of heat on the nose.  Tastes pretty much like it smells.  Very light and fruity with a strong tart finish.  Aftertaste has elements of peach/cantelope to it... maybe even pear?  Pretty dry but not bitter. Seems like a white whine trapped in a red wines body.



I tasted this on its own without food.
