Not so much buttery as "margarine". A bit oily. Slight citrus taste with a sweet finish. Needs to be 80+ degrees outside to enjoy this on the patio. Otherwise, not a favorite.

Consumed over two nights. Definitely a buttery character over some subdued citrus fruit with moderate acidity. Decent value but not a wine I would actively seek out again.

A little past prime. Not oaky.

Cool and crisp but with some minerality. Works it out at $20.
