Week 8
Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: Unknown
Price: $5.95
Food? No
Description from the Vintage Cellar: "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: This wine smelled odd, like fresh baked banana bread. Perhaps that's where the caramelization came through for me. I felt this was a very creamy chardonnay, it had hints of milk and yogurt that hid behind the fruit notes. It was a little bitter on the mid palate.
