  November 16, 2018 - A reasonable QPR at our acquisition cost. Would not immediately place this in Napa Valley but also definitely not in New Zealand either - not that level of acidity, citrus and lemongrass. Clean, crisp, pale yellow with an initial zing out of the bottle which settled down quickly. Probably has another 1-2 good years with proper cellaring but not built for any kind of long haul. Nose bright and acidic with a hint of bubbles / effervescence and yellow lemon. Palate a bit warmer with orange and citrus but also mango and white peach. Virtually no aftertaste at all. Recommend this for lovers of a clean, crispy and lean but not overly citrusy and lemongrassy NZ style of SB.
