Arquero Vineyards

Arquero Chardonnay

Year 2012

Varietal Wine

Western Europe Region

Spain

Price: $5.99

Winery Review: A Chardonnay with an aroma of orchard fruits and blooms with a light to medium body. It has flavors of creamy peach, melon, and sweet citrus with a crispy clean finish and lasting fruit. A clean and easy white wine to drink.

My Review: The Chardonnay has a strong perfume smell. The wine is very acidic, non-oaky with hints of citrus. I don't taste melon or peach, however it does have a light body. It is a dull Chardonnay and overpowered by acidity. There isn't a lasting finish to this Chardonnay.

Arquero Cabernet Sauvignon

Price: $5.99

Winery Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon has a fresh cherry, spice, and cedarwood aroma with a medium body. It has flavors of black currants, cherries,and hints of cocoa and spice. It has a smooth, round, and balanced finish.

My Review: There is certainly a cedarwood aroma to this wine but I can also smell hints of raspberry and cinnamon. It has strong flavors of cherry and plum and is slightly tart for a red wine. It has a medium to almost light body with a creamy, fruity finish.
