Tasting - "Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau"

Name: Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Region: Burgundy
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price: $4.95

Winery Review: A light-bodied red, with good focus and balance, featuring a core of wild cherry and strawberry flavors layered with tangy acidity and abundant ground spice accents. Zesty. Drink now. 560 cases imported. —A.N.


My Review: Better than other cheap wines but not my favorite. This wine has a rich fruity aftertaste, metallic alcoholic taste, and is violet in color. Slightly too bitter for my liking; I was hoping for a bolder fruity taste. 
We paired this wine with hickory cheddar cheese, turkey summer sausage, onion and chive cheese, and honey pineapple mustard. The honey pineapple mustard and summer sausage made the wine taste bitter where the smoked cheddar made the wine taste sweeter.
