Vintage Cellar review: 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 really don't think this wine has much going for it. In my opinion, it is very simple and non-complex. Light oak and butter aromas come through on the nose; the taste is fairly light in body. It's definitely not an interesting wine and I would probably only drink it again if it was absolutely the only wine I had to drink. However, it is a Chardonnay, and the usual consensus is that Chardonnays are fairly simple wines to begin with, so I would say it's a decent Chardonnay (and Semillon) at best.
I had this wine without food.
