Tasting- Mars and Venus


Name:  Mars and Venus
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  Central Valley
Country:  Chile
Year:  2011
Price:  $5.95
VC 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 notes:  The color is very pale yellow with hints of green.  I am not a Chardonnay person at all, but I didn't mind this one.  It was dry, but crisp and not too acidic.  I didn't detect much fruit with this one, but I would say this is my favorite Chardonnay that I've tried.  
Food:  n/a
