R.G.M.V. Central Coast White Blend

2013 vintage - some pear and apple with nice viscosity. For $3 this is good stuff. #traderjoes

$3 at TJs this is good enough to cook with but not good enough to drink seriously.

A mix of roussaune, grenache blanc, marsanne and viognier

Wonder what the abbreviation stands for.
Lemon, wood, steel.
To be exact, clear, star brighy yellow with a greenish/grayish hue of moderate plus intensity. No flocculation to mention, slight watery miniscus on the rim, moderate (aaaaaalmost fast) tearing, no staining with moderate viscosity.
No is hiding behing citrus and stone fruit.
Dry, medium bodied, lime, green apple, pear and tomato stalk with spice.
Medium plus alcohol, medium finish, medium comolexity, balanced.
This Roussane, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier Rhone style white blend for the Central Coast of California is moderately medium. But always wanted to do an in-depth analysis of a value wine.

Interesting blend of white varietals. Very little to no fruit character. Lots of mineral notes.

Smooth, it's ok - nothing to write home about.
