Tasting - Mars & Venus Chardonnay 2014 - Apr. 7, 2016











Name: Mars & Venus Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: La Mancha, 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. (The Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg)

My Review: This wine had a pale gold color to it that led me to believe it would be a quite light wine. The nose really reminded me of honey. It just sang through the smell of pear and a little bit of apple. The feel was light bodied and I got the honey taste through the pallet. I thought it was pretty descent.
