This wine vanished before our eyes like a card trick. I'd use the word "delicious" before I would even begin to characterize the nuance at work here. Terroir driven from what seems like chalkier soil than I'm accustomed to, balanced green apple fruit and just a slight little brush of acidity and perfect minerality. I think I paid a $15-$16 for the bottle in the city last weekend and this is the best value white I've had in months. Who needs oak? Where were you last summer when we needed you most. Superb!
