| | Tasted by nvexplorer on 2/7/2011 & rated 89 points: Really excellent NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Like a trip to the tropics - lots of fruit on the nose and the tongue. Wonderful balance and a crisp finish. (4356 views) |
| | Tasted by ecola on 2/3/2011 & rated 88 points: Aromas of fresh cut green grass, herbs, and tropical fruit. Not as open as other sb from nz. Very smooth mouthfeel, but flavors of grapefruit and tangerine are muted. Not as acidic as I would prefer. Very easy to drink, just missing complexity. ($16) (4165 views) |

| | Tasted by jsums on 9/13/2008 & rated 91 points: Very pale color. Beautiful nose of pink grapefruit, lemongrass, and a hint of kiwi.

Excellent. (3247 views) |
