Crisp, clean, dry full bodied white wine. I enjoy this wine tremendously, even for a VA 2011 Vintage. Light nose. Very crisps on palate with hints of green apple and slight minerality and effervescence.

USA White Wines (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): I tasted this blind. It smells like grass, grapefruit and white peach. The palate shows tangy acid, a burst of tangerine and lime fruit. For a while, I was convinced this was a California interpretation of muscadet, with its lime and salt and sea flavors. A burst of tangerine on the finish. My guess: a California muscadet. I was excited to see it was a Virginia petite manseng, which I think has a future in the state. Solid stuff, and it would be great with oysters or shrimp.
