Le Jade








Name: La Jade
Variety: Sauvigon Blanc
Region: Languedoc
Country:France
Year: 2013
Price: $10 (sale for $5.95)

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: Yep A white wine that again. Just as others I still don't have a taste for white wines. This one was honestly not good in my point of view even after the server told me that it was ranked rather highly I couldn't help but wince as I drank it. To me it taste far too sweet and then does a change to a bitterness that i didn't particularly like it was also a bit to dry and felt like it lingered on my tongue until i drank the Shiraz soon after. I am sure to those that like white wines they would enjoy this one but still have yet to have one that i liked fully. Would recommend to those that like white wines else I wouldn't should they  share my taste for reds or darker more tart tastes. Price was rather nice though so that was something

***I did not eat anything with this wine***
