Gaillac, Blend: 50% Loin de l'Oeil, 30% Mauzac, 20%
Sauvignon Blanc
Gaillac
France
2013
$9.95
"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."
I think it's allergies, but I've been a little stuffed up this week so my experiences with the wines this week were probably a bit off. The main flavor I got from this wine was the pear. It also had a grassy, summery feel to it, but overall it wasn't too complex. It was a solid wine, but I wasn't blown away. Completely unrelated to the wine itself, but I think the label on this bottle is really unique and cool. I didn't have it with food, but I bet it would be good with seafood or a summery salad.
