Tasting - Mars and Venus

Name: Mars and Venus

Variety: Chardonnay

Region: Central Valley

Country: Spain

Year: 2011

Price: $5.95

Shop/wine critic/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 first thing I notice was that it was much more acidic than the previous wine.  It had a slightly bitter finish because of the acidity but was not overpowering at all.  Hints of apple came through with the wine.  In the end, it was a fuller taste so this would definitely go well some light aperitif’s but it was not my favorite of the day.

If food present, did it change the flavor: N/A


Drink Up!
