Tasting - "Mars and Venus Chardonnay"

Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year:2011
Price: $5.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
Your review: This chardonnay had a very light appearance and was almost clear in the glass. It had a faint fruity smell that was almost to dulled to detect. I didn't taste it very much as first (probably because I was sick), but a little later it tasted crisp and refreshing. I would definitely expect to see this wine at a wedding. 
Did not have food with the wine.
