Oaky and buttery, quaffable, just not dry and crisp enough for me.

Just as advertised. A bit too much oak initially.

Was making a buttery stuffing and sweet potatoes for dinner, and was looking for an inexpensive Chardonnay that paired well. This certainly fit the bill, with a creamy flavor that reminded me of the Butterbeer from Universal Studios. Has sort of an edgy aftertaste.

All the pieces are there: tartness, butter, citrus. None of them are in balance. The butteriness comes off too forward for the crispness the wine seems to be going for.

Not super buttery like the buttercream. Strong flavor and rich and tasty but not as smooth as buttercream
