Grande Resereve des Bastides Gaillac 2013
Gaillac, France
Price: $9.95
Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "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."
The creaminess of the Loin de l'Oeil varietal coupled with the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc made this a very rounded and balanced wine. A bit tart and hot on the finish, but definitely a white to keep in mind when looking for something different rather than your basic Pinot Grigio or Sauv Blanc.
