Tasting - Mars & Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars & Venus Chardonnay
Region/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.

My Review: There was an obvious honey aroma on the nose. The honey flavor was also present on the palate mixed with pineapple, which made this white wine very refreshing. I would love to try this with a dish, but I also really liked it on its own. It had a great balance and the finish was smooth. I would give this wine an 89.
