Tasting - Grande Resereve des Bastides Gaillac 2013

Name: Grande Resereve des Bastides Gaillac
Variety: 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 50% Loin de l'Oeil, 30% Mauzac
Region: Gaillac
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95

Winery Review: "A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l’Oeil and notes of fresh apple and crisp pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel, with a hint of mineral on the finish."

My Review: On the nose, this wine was full of tropical notes and pineapple. I did not catch the apple or pear from the bouquet. To taste, this wine was sour like green apple, with no heat. This wine didn't do much for me and was very mediocre in taste. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
