Tasting - Maipe Chardonnay



Maipe Chardonnay
Variety:  85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2012
Price:  $7.95
Shop Review:  30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels.  Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints.  The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla.  Elegant and luscious wine, well blaanced.  Crisp and long finish.  Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.
Personal Review:  Smells slightly fruity but barely.  Taste has a slight spice hint, which I wasn't fond of.  It might be the oak, and lingers after and actually gives a warm feeling on the tongue.  Definitely a long finish.
Food Paring:  Not tasted with food
