Tasting - Canyon Road Chardonnay

Name: Canyon Road Chardonnay 
Variety: Chardonnay 
Region: California 
Country: United States 
Year: 2011 
Price: $6.95

Shop Review: Medium-bodied wine with notes of crisp apple and ripe citrus fruit with a hint of cinnamon spice. Delicious complement to grilled chicken, lighter pasta dishes or mild cheeses (Vintage Cellar).

Personal Review: The Canyon Road Chardonnay had a very soft nose, that was very hard to detect. It had very subtle hints of citrus notes. When tasting the wine, I noticed that it was very crisp on the palate, however, it had a hint of oak to it. It again had a hint of citrus on the palate, but was extremely soft and subtle like the nose. I really enjoyed this Chardonnay because it had the perfect amount of oakiness to it, and was smooth enough to drink on a warm summer day.

Food: N/A
