Great sav blanc and everything I look for in this variety. Grassy notes and straw and a pleasant nose. Very crisp and fresh but also complex. Loved this a lot!

In general the wine is bright with loads of acidity. Aromas are grapefruit dominated. In mouth the wine is grapefruit and lemon rind. Finish is more Lemon with a lingering lemon grass flavor background

Pale straw. On the nose lemon, lime, fresh cut grass. On the palate, an appropriate piercing acidity followed by citrus fruits that leave the palate a bit too quickly. Overall very pleasing and considering these can go for $11-12 this is worth it every time.

PnP. Looks like lemon juice. Crisp green apples on the nose. Very crisp and refreshing. Some effervescence. More acidic than the '19 - not at that level of quality.

I opened this when I found it in my refrigerator after my wife had her friends over on 4 days ago. While I am generally not a fan of SB I must say that I found this pretty enjoyable. The wine is smoother than most with balanced acidty and a ready to consume attitude.
I get a sulphuric aroma with grapefruit and lemon rind. In mouth the wine is lemon with a lingering lemon grass flavor.

No notes taken during the tasting Part of a group tasting against a Sancerre Aromatics were medium. Green grass, cat pee, some green herbs and honeydew melon. Complex, but not as intense as other NZ sauvignon blanc I have tried Palate had nice acid, no phenolics. Crisp fruits, but more lime and pear. No tropical intensity, but still maintained a green herb character which I found refreshing.

PnP. Pale yellow. Nice nose of crisp granny smith apples, which fades a bit with airing. Tart green apples, bracing acidity, refreshing, but lacking the concentration, balance and moderate complexity that the 2019 offered. This is certainly dryer than that wine, and might appeal to some, but it is not nearly as good. It does improve with airing, as the acidity resolves a bit. ADDENDUM: To my palate, this was much better after three days in the fridge. I would open this a day or so before serving, pour off a glass, place cap back on, and store in fridge.

2020 Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (New Zealand) Lovely aroma of Tuscan melon and grass. Full on gooseberry and lime flavours with a tinge of grapefruit bitterness on the finish. Crisp freshness and good length. This tart and fruity Sauv sings with solid chops. A quintessentially juicy, popular and economical Kiwi workhorse wine.

13% alcohol; imported by Delegat USA, Inc, San Francisco, California; screw top; the palest of crystalline yellows, lots of bubbles from pouring, fast legs; nose of overripe lemon, peeled carrots, kale, earth, forest floor; opened and tasted after about 45 minutes at approximately 17 degrees C; medium to full bodied, less reminiscence of citrus than many (Marlborough) Sauvignon Blancs, more of a combo of fruit and earth, sourness predominates over sweetness but just barely; medium to long finish with a shaft of steel going through the middle; tannins make their presence known all the way to the throat; pair with oil-rich cold water fish like salmon or Chilean sea bass; would also pair well at lunch with tuna fish salad or sandwiches

QFC $9.89. Fresh grapefruit nose. Sparkling medium yellow. Burst of acid then grapefruit and dry tart vanilla finish. Not as pleasant as prior vintages. 6/10.
July 12, 2021. Interesting licorice nose. Medium body tart middle and light acid dry finish. 5.5/10.

This wine is a pale lemon-green in color with a high intensity of aroma. The nose is composed of fresh cut grass, grapefruit peel, boxwood, fresh basil, button mushroom, quince, and lychee. This wine is already fully developed. The acidity is high, alcohol is medium, the body is medium(+), the wine is dry and the finish is long. The palate is composed of grapefruit, limes, button mushroom, grass, basil, and green apple. This wine is of very good quality and should be drunk now.

Not as tropica#l as other NZ Sauv Blancs. Grapefruit, citrus and some green apple. A decent amount of minerality. Aroma is earthy and of stone.
If I go for a NZ Sauv Blanc, I want the full pa$$ion fruit experience. This isn't that. Leans slightly more Loire.

From list at a chain pub. Pretty classic for its level. Not as violently acidic as some can be. Chosen as I expected it to be reliable and it was.

This Sauvignon Blanc was surprisingly good.
It might have been because of the warm weather on Sunday, but the citrus, pear and grass notes you get on the nose are invigorating!
On the palate, green apple, grapefruit, passion fruit, soft butter, minerals flavours, for a decent mid finish down the hatch.
Overall great structured wine, and for a low $18 at the SAQ.
Summer is bound to start any day now.
