Tasting - Arnold Palmer Chardonnay

Name: CalNaturale Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: CA
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $20 (On sale $7.95)
Winery Review:
"A vibrant Chardonnay from vineyards in cooler climates of California. Chardonnay is well known for its characteristic fresh apple fruitaromas and rounded, rich flavors. Weather during the 2011 harvest provided ideal growing conditions for lush, yet perfectly balanced fruit. "

 My Review: The aromas given off by this wine are very unique.  I smell a hint of apple but mainly cheddar cheese and butter come through on the nose.  It tasted as if someone had melted butter, then let it cool, then kept it from hardening back completely.  It had a very smooth, creamy texture.  Honestly this wine just didn't work for me; way too buttery.
