This is an excellent white Bordeaux. The nose has a bit of a buttery sent ( like a Chardonnay), but don't worry, there is no butter flavor. Flavors of lemon/ lemon grass are predominant. The lemon acidity is reduced by a creamy medium body texture giving the wine some weight. Pineapple hangs in the background (you know that chunk that doesn't really have full flavor in the batch) and blends a bit with the creamy feel holding it back. For those put off by acidic Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand... Looking for more body ( a fuller feel), than this is your wine. Excellent wine, excellent price.

Good lemongrass and tart peach, bright acid with rounded texture, a good wine for the money

This is not good. From the half-bottle bargain bin at Calvert Woodley.

Golden delicious apple, lanolin, and elderflower. Palate is creamy and rich.

Mediocre. Very fresh, mineral, but not special.
