Pale color. Tasted. Sweet nose, typical NZ SB aromas, very grapefruit driven; the palate has the same grapefruit, a healthy dose of cat pee, carbonated. If you really like NZ SB, and are looking for a sparkling SB go for it. Not for me.

This sparkling Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand pours a very pale yellow with aromas of tropical fruits and freshly cut grass. The flavors follow the nose, with the tropical fruits, predominantly papaya, taking center stage. The body is relatively full for a Sauvignon Blanc, but the fine bubbles help to keep it from getting flabby. It's clean and thankfully avoids any sort of a cat pee note; a nice change of pace for $15. Sealed with a crown cap. Would be great for sipping on the porch on a hot day.

It's sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. That's about it. And not an interesting one either - no real zip or vivacity or distinctiveness. A clean, pleasantly sparkling, refreshing, completely characterless wine. 13%, $16.
