Tasting- RN 13 Vin de Pique Organic White

Name: RN 13 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 

Wine shop 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 apĂ©rtif or with tapas.

My Review: This wine tasted a lot more bitter than the first wine I tasted.  I did not really detect the apples or peaches as described.  Maybe the wine would have paired well with food, but I tried it on it's own and felt it was a little too harsh and tart.
