Tasting - RN 13 Vin de Pique Organic White

Name: RN 13 Vin de Pique Organic White
Variety: 40% Viognor, 35% Chenin Blanc, 25% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Languedoc'Roussillon
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $14.95

Vintage Cellar Review: A really good fun, sociable white.  Very easy-going.  This is a blend of Viognier (40%), Chenin Blanc (35%) and Sauvignon Blanc (25%).  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 pr with tapas.

My Review: The vintage cellar review describes this wine as "easy going" and "easy drinking", I however did not enjoy this wine.  I found it to be bitter and extremely tart.  This wine was tasted without food.
