#47 Marsanne from La Forge Estate

Thursday night which means a new episode of Lost and of course a new bottle of wine. This one is an $8 bottle of marsanne from the Vin De Pays DOC in the south of France.

Loads of vanilla on the nose at first taste its indistinguishable from an oak laden chardonnay. Its pleasing and round but has a finish that is just a bit too warm and leaves you with the feeling that you finished a sour candy 5 minutes earlier. The bottle claims it will please the most demanding palate. I think it falls rather short of that.
