Shop 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:
This wine had a very light fruity taste, but it wasn't strong on the nose. It didn't stand out as much as other wines, so I wasn't sure what to think about of the taste. The taste on the other hand was very strong. It was very dry in the mouth, quite acidic, and it lingered quite long. The after taste was bitter, but left a little fruit flavor on the pallet. It wasn't a bad wine, but I didn't really like it.
