Tasting- Mars and Venus Chardonnay

This was the second wine we tried at the Vintage Cellar tonight. It is a 2011 from Castilla, Spain priced at $5.95. The Vintage Cellar says that this is " a very nice Chardonnay that comfortably over delivers vs. it's 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." This Chardonnay smelt like the ground after it had rained. It was sweeter, more acidic yet smooth, crisp, full bodied and rich. It was my favorite of the night.
