PnP. Clear, medium straw color. Bigger SB nose. A decent South African wine. Medium body, but more heavy than not. Also more CA than NZ in structure. Maybe just over the top, as it lacked the crispness that I like. Still, decent everyday juice, nothing off.

Grassy, weeds, strong florals, sharp, a little bitter. Not as smooth as other Sauv Blancs in this price range. I see a lot of good reviews, but not my favorite, particularly at this price point.

Pale yellow color. Scents for grapefruit, lychee, and something floral. Tastes of tropical fruits, lemon, and a little grassiness. Good acidity. J detected Sweet-Tarts on the finish. Good value for under $18.

Enjoyed. I was glad this didn't blow me away on acidity and grapefruit like some new worlds do. Nicely balanced, with notes of kiwi and a touch of grapefruit. This note from memory of a few days ago.

Good as a Sav Blanc. 2010 was good too.

Clear light yellow. Grassy, gooseberry nose with a broth thing I sometimes get in good SB. Very nice grassy flavours and a nice dry finish. Very nice.

A lovely structure - nose was fruit loaded and not nettly - acid well balanced - good structure and length

Perhaps not quite as crisp and clean as a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but a very good SB nonetheless (84.5).

One of the better SB's around. Big nose of tart grapefruit and minerals. On the palate more citrus, minerals and a long finish. Good stuff.

A great accompaniment to chicken picatta - cooked in salsa, dijon and lime. Good citrus and acidity to go with the mustard and lime..

Wines from the Southern Hemisphere (Farpointe Cellar): The nose had lime, green peas, and floral notes. The palate had peas, lime, stone, and a floral finish.
