Tasting - Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Winery Review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
My Review: This wine is nearly clear in color except for a slight tint of yellow. Mildly sweet with minimal acidity. Light flavor with a noticeable streak of apple.
I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
