Tasting- Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/Semillon

Name: Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/ Semillon
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95

Winery review: Gotham’s 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a  blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish.

My review:This wine starts with a sweet smell with a slight twinge of sour.  Upon tasting, I got a very dry flavor with a sour taste.  I also got a very light flavoring of fruit.  The aftertaste consisted of more sour, that seemed to stick with me for a bit.  Not a very big fan of the dry taste and would probably not try again in the immediate future.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
