2011 Canyon Road Chardonnay Tasting


Name: Canyon Road Chardonnay 
Varietal: Chardonnay 
Region: California
Country: US of A
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar's 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.”

My Review:
The nose left me yearning for more; there was a fruity hint, which smelled citrusy. The body was very crisp, yet smooth and infused with very crisp pear flavors. I did sense a little oakyness but not enough to be the Oak Monster (shoutout to Gary Vaynerchuk!). Overall, a decent wine, not balanced that well, mild acidity and a nice, sweet, sip on a summer day.

Tasted without food.
