Wine Tasting: Baumann Gentil Classiq

Name: Baumann Gentil Classiq
Variety: Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris
Region: Alsace
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $17

Shop review: 
A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, 
and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit 
and delicate white flowers start your 
journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone 
and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity 
on the dry finish ends this French blend 
beautifully

My review:  To me, this wine smelled like apples and cinnamon at first, but then the cinnamon smell dissolved away, leaving behind hints of a floral bouquet. To taste, this wine was extremely crisp, and moderately sweet, with more green apple flavor.
