Light lemon colored. Bright aromas of lemon pepper seasoning, jalapenos, cut flower stems, along with lemons and green apples. Bright acidity on a light/medium-bodied frame, with lemon crème, green apples, orange peel, topped with cucumber slices, lemongrass and honeysuckle. Always a reliable, tasty introduction to Marlborough Sauv Blanc, and good for the price.
Pale lemon color. Aromas of green apples, grapefruit, lemon, along with spicy green herbs and cucumber slices. Crisp and lively on the palate with tangy acidity on a medium-bodied frame. Flavors of green apple and grapefruit blend well with lemongrass, cucumber slices, notes of mineral and sea salt. A bit deeper and more complex than the regular bottling.
Deep ruby color. Nose shows black cherries and wild raspberries, with an interesting mix of sage, rhubarb, red pepper flakes, roses and coffee. Zesty acid on the palate with a fresh approach and light tannins. Spicy red currants and strawberries, some black cherries, I also get notes of spiced tea, roses, clove and rhubarb. Delicious, quite complex for the price, a fun, early-drinking Pinot.
