Tasting - Mars + Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars + Venus
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: ??
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 is an interesting wine, especially because we are familiar with this winery, and familiar with Chardonnay.  I think its good to see this as an unoaked wine, which I think I appreciate.  It is a nice straw color and a harvest taste if that makes any sense. I did not try this with food.
