Tasting - Peter Lehmann Chardonnay

Name: Peter Lehmann Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $20 (Sale for $9.95)
Winery Review:

"The 2010 Chardonnay presents subtle notes of spiced apple slices and ripe peaches with hints of freshly baked bread and melon. Light bodied, clean and refreshingly crisp in the mouth, it offers just enough apple and pear flavor concentration, finishing with medium-long persistence. Drink it now to 2014."


 My Review: 
When I smelled this wine the first thing I noticed was a buttery, cheesy aroma that had a bit of oak in the background.  As I tasted it, the first thing that came across was a buttery flavor with a hint of baked bread as well.  I noticed a bit of fruit (mainly peach and slight apple notes) after the buttery flavor but they didn't linger long at all.  Personally, I thought the wine was more medium bodied than light and too buttery to really be crisp.  I did not try this wine with food.
