Tasting: Arnold Palmer Chardonnay


Name: Arnold Palmer Chardonnay                                                          
Variety:Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $20
Sales Price: $7.95


Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "A vibrant Chardonnay from vineyards in cooler climates of California. Chardonnay is well known for its characteristic fresh fruit aromas and rounded, rich flavors. Weather during the 2011 harvest provided ideal growing conditions for lush, yet perfectly balanced fruit."


My Review: I had high hopes for this wine just because it had the name Arnold Palmer in it and I love Arnold Palmers and golf. But this wine was quite mediocre. It was a weak and unimpressive wine that really had no unique characteristics that made it stand out and it really just had that typical Chardonnay taste. It had an all-natural smell of dirt, floral, fruity smells that did not overpower you at all. It is a good summer wine to drink but its sour taste and forgettable overall characteristics make this wine nothing special.
