This one definitely can be categorized as "enhanced aromatics" Not all bad, but you have to be a fan of old style New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to appreciate what we have here. The aromatics, are not grass, or "eau de gato" but more wet hay, earthy, wet leaves. It almost works. There is enough fruit, and balancing acidity to give the package a little credibility. More golden color than most Sauvignon Blanc. Some green garden on the nose. Decent citrus fruit, swimming with a bunch of only in New Zealand, funky flavors. We served it chilled, enjoyed it, and will try some more.

Typical Marlborough Region grapefruit. Not quite as big as some of the more expensive MR Sauv Blancs but, very nice. having spicy shrimp cocktail with it. Would buy this again

Wine over Water (Newport, Kentucky): A pale yellow wine with a light body. White grapefruit strongly on the nose and in the mouth. No shortage of crisp acidity. The finish is short with more white grapefruit.

Good minerality and acidity with tropical fruit and herbaceousness. Well balanced.
