Tasting - Grande Resereve des Bastides



Name: Grande Resereve des Bastides 
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'Oeil and notes of fresh apple and crips pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel, with a hint of mineral on the finish." 
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: Grapefruits on the nose right away, with citrus notes on the mid palate and some acidity towards teh end. A little warm notes on the end, maybe pulling some of the creamy notes from the Loin de l'Oeil. Pretty good, but nothing too special. 

Tasted without food.
