Tasting - Mars and Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Tasting Date: January 31, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None 

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 Thoughts: This is the first Chardonnay I have tried. The aroma was very mild. A hint of apple and mild citrus or pineapple. The flavor is equally mild. Was dry and bitter to me. Not something I am interested in for the time being. Definitely something I should come back to in a month or two.
