Tasting - Mars and Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
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 (Vintage Cellar).

My Review: The Mars and Venus Chardonnay had a fruity, sweet smell. The Chardonnay had a slightly buttery taste and was kind of sweet. I was definitely able to pick up the fruity flavors that the aromas suggested, namely the apple. I genuinely enjoyed this wine, especially after noticing the extremely reasonable price!

Food: N/A
