Vintage Cellar 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.
My review: I don't like chardonnays yet still, but this was getting close. The smell was quite bold in sweetness which made me have a glimmer of hope. However, the taste was typical chardonnay dryness I am not quite fond of yet. The initial burst of flavor was definitely melon and then faded into a really sharp tart after taste. The melon fruity flavor was extremely good though and almost redeemed the clawing dryness that followed it. Some people might love that, but me right now does not. I do think the play on fruity and tart was really delicious, but I am just not into the chardonnay flavor... right now, hopefully I will be able to appreciate it by the end of this class.
