Tasting - Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay/ Semillon

Name: Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95








Winery Review:
It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish.

My Review: This wine had a very sugary and honey like aroma. Taste wise, I did not get much out of this wine, it seemed thin to me and only had an acidic finish with little flavor.

I did not have food with this wine.

Tasting - Postales Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

Name: Postales Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Variety: 65% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon
Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $12.95

Winery Review: Intense, floral and fruity, with citrus notes and a mineral touch. Gentle, fruity, balanced and distinguished acidity. Delicious long finish.

My Review:
This wine had a slightly acidic nose with not much fruity, citrus aroma. After tasting, I did not find much going on with this wine. It was very thin and lacked any prominent flavors. The finish was slightly acidic. Overall not my favorite wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
