 Tasted by Dillo on 7/29/2010 & rated 90 points: Very light straw color. Nose & palate predominately green apple with some citrus and grassy notes. Crisp acidity, good minerality and a refreshing effervescence. (2088 views)
 Tasted by Trajadoja on 6/14/2009 & rated 91 points: I'm reminded again why I like this wine so much. Complex, crisp, fruit and minerals. Really nice with some cheese after a day of working outdoors. (2340 views)
 Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 4/26/2009 & rated 92 points: Perfect summer wine. Those accustomed to Loire Valley chenin blanc will find this surprisingly bracing; it's got the variety's typical apple flavors, but they're on the racier, green-apple side of the spectrum. In fact I couldn't help but wonder whether this juice might've made a nice Champagne-method wine. Great purity and brightness to the fruit but also nervosity. The attack is acute and tensile.

 Tasted by dougsmith on 5/15/2008 & rated 88 points: Light lemon with a slight spritz. Vibrant nose of gooseberry and cut grass with a touch of honeysuckle. Very inviting. On the palate it's light to medium bodied, bright and somewhat soft. (2284 views)

Professional 'Channels'
By Lenn Thompson
New York Cork Report (1/1/2009)
(Paumanok Vineyards Chenin Blanc) The nose is complex and expressive, showing a fruit salad mélange of grapefruit, mango, pear, melon and orange blossom. A medium-bodied palate starts off fresh and clean with melon, grapefruit and mineral flavors, but as the wine crosses over into the mid-palate, the flavors change a bit, becoming richer with pineapple and honey overtones. That honeyed fruit character carries through to the finish, which is long and delicious. The texture of this wine is faintly oily but it remains lively and clean because there’s plenty of balancing acidity. In France, Chenin Blanc has shown the ability to age beautifully, and I think this one might be long-lived too. It will be interesting to see how the Stelvin closure will affect that over time.  3.5 out of 5 stars

Varietal character (Appellation America)

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.
