Yellow, matured fruits, like peach,vanilla, butter. Mid acidity. A bit sweet. 20 @3850, Academy D, 240204

Floral, almost yellow mango smell. Strong notes of lemon and grapefruit, maybe a bit of vanilla. Left a buttery taste in my mouth (as the name would suggest), but perhaps not as much as I would’ve expected from a wine named “Butter.” Enjoyed it on its own.

It's like a lemony custard dipped in butter. The buttery notes came out later after about an hour. Before that was mostly yellow and green fruits dominating. I'm really enjoying buttery Chards! Cheers!

Butter is a delightful wine, showing a rich, golden color and an expressive, complex nose. It features the exotic side of tropical fruit, mango, guava and, as the folks at JaM Cellars put it, baked lemons. I've never baked lemons, so I can't be sure, but there is some citrus in there, baked or otherwise. The “touch of oak” is probably a little more than that, but it's nothing to fear. It's a nice, uh, buttery, flavor that mixes in quite well with the citrus and peaches. Vanilla finish, beautiful. Acidity, fresh. California Chardonnay, just like you remember it. Only a little leaner. Just a little.

A tad sweet for me, but great with Salmon!

Just as it says... Buttery. The other butter (Butternut Chardonnay I posted) is better.

Nice, lots of butter flavour, but was really hoping for more depth of flavour and some oak. A little disappointed based on this price.
