Tasting - Canyon Road Chardonnay

Name: Canyon Road Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: California 
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Tasting Date: March 28, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery 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 Thoughts: Very light color. Nose is sour apple, some pear, mostly what I would expect from a Chardonnay. Hints of limestone and minerals. Taste has some hints of sour apple, mostly it is chalky and oak. There is some acid in the finish. Overall it was pretty boring.
