  My last bottle of three cases. Consumed one-half, the remainder was scoffed by a guest raiding my partner's refrigerator. This vintage of the wine is - or more precisely was - much better than the 2021's I have been drinking since. This presents some minerality and depth, with a slightly bitter finish. Such a great value. (88-89).

  This bottle was opened eleven (11) days ago (when I thought the wine was past peak) - and half of it stored in the refrigerator. Well. "surprise, surprise" - as 1960's television character Gomer Pyle might say. It was better on day 11 than on day 1. Rich, pronounced - almost profound - Sauvignon Blanc flavor. I have had many, many bottles of this mass produced wine, in this vintage - what an exceptional Q2P ratio. You don't always have to break the bank to drink delicious wine. This just blew away the similarly aged and stored leftover 2019 Cambria Chardonnay Catherine's Vineyard, an excellent value as well (and 94 points from AG), which displayed a bitter finish. OK, this is not complex and it is definitely not Sancerre, but it was less than 10 bucks. The more recent vintages are good, but I'm not sure they are quite at this level. This is not for wine geeks - this is a more than decent wine to serve to "ordinary people." Perfect with swordfish. (88+).

  Fresh and pungent with flavours of capsicum, blackcurrant leaf and maybe a whiff of cats’ pee. Crisp and any tartness is offset nicely with a hint of residual sugar. It delivers what it says on the tin and is unmistakably an S/B from Marlborough NZ, so no surprises. CHP 84 pts

  Great summer wine. Medium body smooth on the palate. Lots of grapefruit in taste and aroma.
