Tasting - Grande Reserve de Bastides Gaillac 2013


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

Shop Review: A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l'ceil 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 go mineral on the finish.

My Review: On the nose, I got mostly lemon with a bit of the herby-earth scent.  On the palate, there was almost a tangy feel to this wine with the mineral at the end.  However, there was a bit too much acidity on this palate for my taste.

I did not have food with this wine.
