Tasting- Wine Men of Gotham Cardonnay/Semillon Blend

Name:Wine Men of Gotham Cardonnay/Semillon Blend
Variety: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Semillon
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: Gotham's 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon 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 has a nice light yellow/gold to it. I noted slight hints of oak, pineapple, and a little grass on the nose of this wine. Though the bouquet had a sweet smell, the initial taste was actually a little sour. The flavor starts smooth and subtle but finishes strong with some heat and acidity coming through.
