Picpoul De Pinet

I don't review many white wines. I am a red wine drinker at heart, but I feel this one is worthy of a few word. I first tried this wine at a wine tasting in Sun Valley Idaho about a year ago. I think it is a great wine in the summer, very fresh, clean and crisp. Hughes Beaulieu's Picpoul De Pinet is pale yellow in color with a tint of green. Fine aromas of exotic fruits and grapefruit. Brings a full citrus flavor to the palate with lime flavors, and a very focused acidity. This wine comes from the Languedoc region of France and is made from a Piquepoul grape, goes great with seafood or shellfish.
