Tasting - Grande Reserve des Bastides

Name: Grande Reserve des Bastides

Variety: Gaillac

Region: Giallac

Country: France

Year: 2013

Price: $9.95

Shop/wine critic/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: This wine smell very fruity, citrus, and hints of pear came through on the first small.  I tasted it and definitely got the sour green, fresh apple taste that many wines have. This wine was kind of drier than I was expecting.  I did not have this wine with any food.
