Very Good+. Really enjoyable wine that sips nicely on it's own and goes well with seafood. Green apple and subtle minty quality, it combines a steely, flinty front with a modestly creamy texture (lees?), a nice combination of ripeness and crispness.
Worth checking out.
(Note: I use the CT recommended absolute scoring scale. My '88' would translate to about a JS '92' for a wine with this profile, for example.)

This tastes like good muscadet. Tasting blind, my guesses were muscadet or assyrtiko. It is a mineral-driven wine, with fruit centered on lemon and green apple. I noticed a touch of lees. It is good to see an American producer making a wine that is so European in style.
