I like this one better than the butterkissed. Not as woodsy.

Delightful! Fruit forward, huge apple with slight lemon. We’ll balanced with low acidity, but enough to cut through the creaminess of the cheese board accompanying it. A welcome surprise!

Has that buttery, Chardonnay aftertaste. Not too strong but definitely present. It was fine with Indian food.

There was nothing at all distinctive about this wine. It wasn't fruit forward, it wasn't buttery, it wasn't alcohol tasting, it wasn't complex. It was just.... There. Nothing offensive but nothing memorable either.

I would not buy again. It was good with a meal, but we did not enjoy it by itself.
