July 26, 2015 - Opened and out of frig for 20 minutes. Light straw in color. Grass and hay predominant on the nose with green pepper. Early citrus notes with a rapid transmission to green veggies on mid palate and finish. Little low on acidity. Better than a 2014 Cloudy Bay tasted on the same night.

March 28, 2015 - Served slightly warm (above refrigerator temperature). No detailed notes, but this was a solid wine with a creamy mouthfeel and a nose dominated by warm tomatoes off the vine with some floral and tropical fruit undertones. Very unique nose on this wine, though it was relatively straightforward on the palate with the typical Marlborough tropical fruit flavors dominating. Decently structured with medium acid. "Very good," 88/100.
