Tasting - RN13 Vin de Pique Organic White

Ok, so I looked at my syllabus, and realized I didn't do my blog properly, so I am redoing the ones from my tasting this weekend.  I'll keep the original post since I spent some time on it.  Here we go:

Name: RN13 Vin de Pique Organic White
Variety: Blend of Viognier (40%), Chenin Blanc (35%) and Sauvignon Blanc (25%)
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $14.95
Shop Review: The palate is a blend of apples, pears and peaches with refreshing acidity and a hint of lemon.  Great balance and perfect example of an easy drinking white to serve chilled as an aperitif or with tapas.
My Review: Previous to beginning my tasting, I made the rookie mistake of chewing a minty gum.  Therefore, my taste may have been off.  The taste that stood out the most to me was a refreshing taste of pear.  The wine was smooth and in balance.  Even though it's winter in Blacksburg, I can definitely see myself relaxing on a warm summer evening enjoying this chilled wine!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
