Saturday Wine Mix-Tape (Washington, DC): Saline, minerals, chalk, lemon zest, clam shells, the essence of the ocean. Really nervy and live-wire, this 2011 is a total steal for $11. Paired wonderfully with linguine and white clam sauce. More expressive than I remember this wine in 2012.

A little softer than the 2010, relatively speaking, because this wine still has that great mineral verve that I associate with Bonnet-Huteau. Minerals out the wazoo. Zesty acid and lemons last a long time on the finish.
