Still very nice @ 5 yrs w/classic NZ SB aromas and flavors that are well balanced with tropical-pineapple-citrus-grapefruit and mild grassy-herbal notes. Helluva close-out bargain @ $5, wish there had been more on the shelf.

A solid bottle of wine at this pricepoint. A full-throttle SB from NZ that doesn't lack in acidity or petrol, which are nice additions to the typical NZ SB palate. Could be a bit too overwhelming for food, but great on its on or with a pungent cheese.

Not bad but also not interesting. Inexpensive alternative to better NZ sauvignon blanc if you aren't paying attention to the taste.

Excellent QPR. Hits all the notes - crisp, grassy, citrus-y - I would expect from Marlboroughs costing at least twice as much. Perfect with pesto.
