Tasting - Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon

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

Winery Review: Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon.  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: My first impression of this wine was its overwhelming intensity.  Both the nose and the palette were very strong, though not in a bad way.  The nose provided acidic melon notes, while the palette was strong lime flavors.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
