2010 Mouton Cadet $5.99
About a week ago Nicole and I were at Grocery Outlet and came across this little beauty for only 6 bucks! We decided to snag a few and head home. Last night I went by the Butcher Shop Cafe in Kenmore and picked up a few different cuts for Nicole and I and for some in-laws. Grilled up some top sirloin and cracked a white. Wine was amazing. I know, we should have ripped open a red wine but since I tend to not play by the rules when it comes to wines, what the hell?
The blend:
65% Sauvignon Blanc
30% Semillon
5% Muscadelle
Lighter than hay in color but with a light tropical nose with hints of light hay and star fruit. On the palate the soothing Semillon hits the palate pretty hard but then you can feel the Muscadelle sizzle around. The acidity and mouth feel is very smooth. On the finish we are talking elegant. Smooth and long finish, like a models leg. Perfect summer/spring wine. We will be picking up a case of the white and red!
