Tasting Canyon Road Chardonnay



Name: Canyon Road
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
The Vintage Cellar 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 smell of this wine is quite strong and really good.  It smells very buttery like a pound cake with apples in it.  The description calls it crisp and citrus; I get the crisp but not the citrus.  It’s very smooth, and maybe I am confusing the cinnamon but I taste vanilla.  It’s really good and has a tiny bit of bitterness.  It’s refreshing but in a warm and calming way.  It’s like a warm apple tart cake.
