Tasting - Le Jade Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Le Jade Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Languedoc
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $6

Winery 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.

My Review: Very fruity smell. It smelled of melon and green grapes. I tasted notes of green granny-smith apples, apricots, and pears. It was a bit tart and acidic. It had a long finish. Not a bad wine but wasn't exciting.
