  Classic NZ SB, great citrus, lime, tropical fruit bowl with a nice acidic balance and lively finish. Paired well w/Asian dishes and as aperitif, 99 pts just to help make up for Denim's 69 for now...but solid 90-91 in my book .

  About what you would expect from a NZ SB; grapefruit, melon, very grassy; nothing special.

  Very pale, slightly taupe color.
  
  Smells of sweet grapefruit, passion fruit, juicyfruit, and honeydew melon.
  
  Tastes of green apple, some warm spice I can't place, short finish. Fairly acidic. Not very complex.
  
  Might be good with bib lettuce and strawberry salad.

  Nice, pleasant wine for the price. Melon, citrus, grass, on the nice and palate. Well rounded and does not have the slight bitter aftertaste that some SBs have. Enjoyabale everyday wine, particularly in the summer. I appreciate Wine Spectator bringing this wine to my notice, albeit its 91 pts rating might be tad generous.
