 Tasted by firstgrowth on 9/22/2012 & rated 90 points: Drank at Hollywood Bowl Sound of Music singalong. Tart and bright, great crisp white on hot summer night. (1853 views)
 Tasted by Nyindallas on 5/21/2012 & rated 82 points: Pale yellow. Lemon and minerals on the nose. Fairly one dimensional, does not have the signature grapefruit flavors common to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Could do better at this price point. Day 2, no improvement. Would not purchase again or recommend. (2033 views)
 Tasted by limule on 6/18/2011 & rated 92 points: Michèle et François. Splendide (2651 views)
 Tasted by BodegaDan on 5/24/2011 & rated 91 points: Both were a step above good NZ Sauvignon Blanc. (1920 views)
 Tasted by kstoddard on 1/25/2011 & rated 91 points: Straw yellow color. Tropical fruit aromas. Flavors of grapefruit, lemon, lime and apple. Crisp and refreshing. Very well balanced. Rich finish with nice depth and some interesting complexity. Very well done and an excellent QPR. A wine to seek out and purchase more. 13% alcohol. (2058 views)
 Tasted by GJI on 9/17/2010 & rated 88 points: N (1656 views)
 Tasted by Mig22 on 8/19/2010 & rated 89 points: Like this one a lot. First noticed that the expected grapefruit was there but not too strong and there was a richer, sweeter fruit in there too. Taste matched the nose and it paired really well with a shrimp and garlic pasta. (1679 views)
 Tasted by pwarms on 7/23/2010 & rated 86 points: Hello dependable Sauvignon Blanc.. Just what I expected and there is nothing wrong with that. Crispy fun that dares you to make it a spritzer when its 100 degrees out. (1736 views)
 Tasted by jmull on 4/18/2010 & rated 91 points: Really, really nice: Adding a fair dose of peach to the traditional grapefruit and lime flavors, with just enough grassiness to it. Was the second bottle opened after a 2006 Jermann Vintage Tunina and it actually held its own -- a nice trick at 1/5th the price! ($13 Costco.) 91. (2070 views)
 Tasted by bradsteven on 3/8/2010 & rated 86 points: Good balance within the standard New Zealand SB flavors and aromas. Grassy and grapefruit. good acidity (2004 views)
