Remember the progression of Beaujolais wines? They go (increasing in price and quality) from Beaujolais to Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais Cru and Beaujolais Nouveau which is in a class by itself.
This is one of the Beaujolais Cru named "Fleurie." This wine was $13, has a nice clear garnet hue with light Gamay aromas with gentle raspberry and strawberry kool-aid bouquet.
In the mouth this wine was really kind of unremarkable which is not the case for most Cru wines. It was okay but really not memorable. Try a differnt year and raise a glass.
