  January 26, 2022 - Pretty standard for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Well made and thankfully not over-the-top gooseberry or — God forbid! — cat pee. Its high acidity has kept it fresh at nearly 5 years old. Would be interesting to see how it progresses over the years.
  
  While the winery is still mostly owned by co-founder Sue White, Gallo owns about 25% and has exclusive distribution rights in the U.S.

  April 11, 2021 - Still the same from my notes taken on 2/6/21.
  Did pick up some slight peaches on the nose this time around. Still very enjoyable at this price point.

  February 6, 2021 - Poured into decanter for a little splash. Golden straw in color.
  On the nose I got citrus limezest, minerals and some saline.
  On the palate it was really refreshing to drink. I did get some citrus fruits and minerals. Really nicevlingering finish with slight acidity.

  August 11, 2020 - Good acidity but not much character. Received as a gift but doesn’t compare to Kim Crawford or Oyster Bay from same region.

  April 13, 2020 - Seems to have just the right amount of acidity with flavor of grapefruit and maybe a tiny hint of lemon. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
