Tasting - Grande Resereve des Bastides Gaillac

Name: Grande Resereve des 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'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."
My Review: This wine was really gold in a color, a dark tinted yellow. It smelled like a watermelon Jolly Rancher or some other type of hard candy or gum. It also had hints of fruits and flowers in its scent. The wine had a refreshing taste with a light mouthfeel. It was not too acidic nor too harsh. There was still a nice kick present, the flavors were good and floral, and there was no stinky aftertaste. Was not paired with any food.
