Wine Tasting: Mars & Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars & Venus
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2014
Price: $5.95

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: Very fruity on the nose with hints of pineapple, pear, and citrus. Also smelled like fresh, crisp, deciduous vegetation. The taste was very similar to the smell. Smooth on the palate with a nice finish.

I did not have this wine with food.
