Winery review: Gotham's 2008 Wine Men of Gotham 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. - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes
My review: I have to say that I was not a fan of this wine at all. I actually wrote a sad face and a big X next to it on my tasting sheet. I felt that this wine tasted too sharp for my taste. To me, it was dry and had a sharp kick at the end of the gulp. The moderate intensity noted by the Vintage Cellar seemed a bit too intense for me. The acid was very apparent and I did not enjoy this one. Personally, I think it's great to learn about wines that I do and do not care for.
