I found this to be a wonderfully complex wine with soft mouthfeel and truly velvety smoothness on the tongue. So many flavors, I couldn't begin to describe them. I loved it. I'm aging the rest of the case so that I can see how it matures and mellows. It's hard not to pull a bottle out when heading to the cellar every time I go there.

This was my first time trying the GruVee grape as some call it... I enjoyed it. Acidic, not sweet, but not dry either... maybe a bit sour but was fresh and reminded me of a green apple. Certainly its own flavor and I couldn't mistake it for any other grape that I can think of.

This is probably my favorite Sauvignon Blanc and is a nice price for regular drinking. Every reason that you would choose a wine from New Zealand for is in this wine. Crisp, tropical, fresh... just a great light, fruity and satisfying white wine. It finishes almost perfectly and has low acidity. I love it with any seafood or just on a nice day sitting on the porch or on the deck.
