February 24, 2013 - - Yellow color.
December 18, 2012 - Medium+ nose with classic citrus and gooseberry, key lime pie, fresh cut grass and ammonia zip of cat's pee. Medium+ acidity made everyone's gums tingle and mouth water. Altogether well put together and this one plays with the bigger boys on complexity/concentration to value.
August 29, 2011 - Popped and poured. Nice and refreshing crisp nose of lemon grass, pear, papaya, grapefruit, and stones, along with a touch of caramel. Tons of passion fruit comes across on the palate, as well as fresh kiwi and tart lemon peel. An enjoyable easy drinking Sauv Blanc, with medium+ acidity. Well balanced, with a medium finish ending with tart lemon and some guava. Good.
July 23, 2011 - consistent with prior notes
June 27, 2011 - Grassy nose. Pineapple and Papaya with other citrus notes. bit of stone. Well balanced, high acid. Very good wine. Delicious. Very solid NZ SB. Excellent tart finish. Great summer sipping wine.
June 3, 2011 - Not just grapefruit!
May 13, 2011 - Wife (of course) loved it, had more expressive nose that most NZ SB, and at room temp showed typical grapefruit, grass and tropical notes. Good mouthfeel, not hot.
March 25, 2011 - Pleasant but unremarkable.
March 12, 2011 - Floral and fruity on the nose. Fresh and fruity on the palate. Just like a white bordeaux we love. Great wine. A bit grassy on the end of the palate with notes of papaya. Some grapefruit and other citrus hints as well.
