Tasting - Mars and Venus Chardonnay

Name - Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety - Chardonnay
Region - Central Valley
Country - Chile (says Spain on the Vintage Cellar's tasting notes)
Year - 2011
Price - $5.95

Shop 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 - The color of this wine was almost white. The wine had a fairly strong scent, smelled like a "Chardonnay" to me. The taste was a bit acidic as well as buttery. I am not generally a huge fan of Chardonnays so this wine did not particularly appeal to me.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
