Tasting - "Grande Reservere des Bastides Gaillac"

Name: Grande Reservere des Bastides Gaillac
Variety: 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 50% Loin de I'Oeil, 30% Mauzac
Region: Gaillac
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95

Wine 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 smells floral, a lot like Welch's grape juice, and with no alcohol. The taste is sour at first and bitter at the end with a bite and slight alcohol aftertaste that doesn't linger long.
I enjoyed this wine without food.
