2007 Domaine du Tariquet Ugni-Blanc Colombard - $8 This estate wine comes from Gascony France, and it's a blend of 70% Ugni Blanc, 30% Colombard. Ugni Blanc and Colombard are white varietals native to France that or not often planted outside of the country. This wine is very unique. The color is very pale light green yellow, it almost looks like water. This dry fruity wine has aromas of kiwi, passion fruit, and sugarcane. That's what it smells like to me, you might smell other types of tropical fruit, but you'll definitely smell tropical fruit, this wine is very aromatic. On the palate the wine is very light, tart, and tastes a bit like lemon water, very crisp with hints of grapefruit. If you're stuck drinking the same old chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio's and you're looking for an interesting white wine this is one to try. I like this wine but I think it'd be much better on a nice warm day unlike tonight when it's twenty degrees outside. At only 10.5% alcohol this wine would be great on a hot summer day. This wine is imported by Robert Kacher Selections, the best place to find Robert Kacher wines is at Total Wine.
