14 Hands Chardonnay

Name:14 Hands
Variety: Chardonnay
Region:  Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2011

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
This Chardonnay displays aromas and flavors of fresh apple with subtle hints of vanilla and buttery caramel. On the palate, notes of sweet oak and spice give way to a soft, lingering finish
Your Review: 
It may be that this is my first WA wine (that I think!), but I smell apple.  Crisp green Washington apple.  I think this was an oak aged Chardonnay (as is common), so it has that buttery texture.  I definitely taste apple, but mixed with something else that I can't place.  I worry I may be getting a bit sick; my taste buds are not up to par. 
I did not try this with food.
