Tasting - Le Jade Sauvignon


Name: Le Jade Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Sauvignon
Region: Languedoc 
Country: France 
Year: 2013

Shop Review: "Silvery straw color. Lively aromas and flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, melon, and Meyer lemon with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish with notes of lemongrass, pear, and lemon with no tannins and no oak Bright and crisp with layers of juicy pineapple, pear, lemongrass and ripe melon make this perfect for repeated sipping or enhancing fresh farm to table cookery."
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: The nose was more grassy than fruity, upon first impression. Even with a cold, I could tell this wine had a strong smell. The wine was full-bodied, and did get hints of pineapple. Again, with a cold, bit difficult to determine specific aromas. 

Tasted without food.
