Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay 2016, Monterey County

I tried this on a wine tasting on a cruise a few days ago. I was not able to detect much character on the nose. I was tasting a mix of pear and apple but it was very subtle. What I enjoyed was the balance and acidity of the wine. I found it very refreshing.

Ca' Del Sette Appassionante 2016, Igt Veneto

I do not recall the aromas of this wine but I do recall that when I tasted it, I was disappointed. The tannin's were smooth but the acidity was too high. I did not find this wine balanced. This was a hot wine too. Through out the evening, the wine did not improve so no need to decant. I was drinking this at room temperature around 23C. The recommended temperature is 18C. It is possible that the lack of character on the wine was due to drinking it too warm. I strongly suggest to cool it to the suggested 18C before drinking.
