The classic green bell pepper aroma is very up front here which makes me nervous since it can really take over a sauv blanc for me, but while it's noticeable on first sip, it's not overwhelming. The wine itself has the perfect blend up acid up front and lush, medium bodied smoothness. Along with the bell pepper there's pineapple, baked pear, and honey notes. What a crisp, delicious sipper!

Good, grapefruit, grassy (but not too...) and sharpish lime citrus. Versatile as we had it over a couple of nights with different dishes. Not classic Marlborough SB for me, but would buy again (a good brand generally, The Lay of the Land Pinot Gris is great).

I love the acidity of this wine, I find it a little more acidic than other Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that I have had and I am a happy drinker. On the nose I notice hints of grapefruit. On the palate I have green apples, citrus and grass. Awesome SB that I will buy again. Was a little daring and paired this SB with Penne Vodka, the acidity of this wine was perfect with the Penne Vodka. This wine is a winner.
