Tasting- Mars and Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: 100 % Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95 (sale)

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: The wine started with a very sweet aroma.  Upon tasting I got a sour apple taste with a few other fruits mixed in.  It was a little dry for my taste as of now.  I wouldn't mind trying this again after developing my palate some more.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
