Tasting - Canyon Road Chardonnay

Name: Canyon Road Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $6:95
Vintage Cellar Review: "Medium-Bodied wine with notes of crisp apple and ripe citrus fruit and a hint of cinnamon spice. Delicious complement to grilled chicken, lighter pasta dishes, or mild cheeses."
My Review: The one and only thing I could smell in this wine was apples. Crisp, crunchy, sweet, ripe apples. I could almost smell everything about the apples from the seed to the tree to the orchard. It was a beautiful aroma. The first taste of the wine was sweet but then ended with a hot, spicy mix. I enjoyed the variation of sweet to hot because i was worried it would be so sweet it would be too sweet. There was a hint of oak and earthy accents, which were a nice addition.
There was no food paired with this wine.
