Tasting - "Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau 2013"

NameGeorges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau
Variety: Blended
RegionBeajolais
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $15

Winery Notes: "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." 
-Wine Spectator

My Review: The girl at Vintage Cellar told us that this wine was made with the Gomay grape, which are harvested before they are fully ripe, which adds to the flavor.  The smell was VERY fruity: a mix of plum, raspberry, and even certain candies came to mind, like a starburst.  The taste was not as sweet as the smell.  It was a very smooth wine, with hints of berry.  The aftertaste was tart, but not sour.  This was a pretty good-tasting wine, a solid choice.
