  September 11, 2022 - tasted on board the Carnival Pride, docked at Civitavecchia, Italy, about to set sail on the third leg back-to-back part of our European trip, this time into the eastern Mediterranean; 13.5% alcohol; imported by Broadbent Selections, Sonoma, California; screw top, long legs, very pale lemon color; nose with recuerdos of passion fruit and citrus blossoms -- as pointed out on the label; tasted at approximately 8 degrees C; full bodied, a complex melange of sweetness, fruitiness, sourness; pair with smoked oysters on the half shell

  March 15, 2022 - I had this with pan seared salmon with meyer lemon shallot caper relish on arugula. It was alright with the dish but nothing I would buy again considering other great NZ Sauvignon Blancs on the market.

  January 21, 2022 - Har ligget i kjøleskapet et par dager etter å ha brukt litt i fiskesuppa.
  Farge: Strågul, anelse grønngul.
  Dufter kattepiss umiddelbart. Det roer seg litt etter hvert.
  Ung vin. Sitrus (grapefrukt), stikkelsbær. Ikke så mye krydder i starten, det kom litt med økende temperatur.
  Smak: Middels fylde. Veldig fruktig, kjølig frukt av sitrus (grapefrukt, anelse tropisk), mineralsk (stein/flint), litt grønne urter som blir mer tydelig med økt temperatur. Preget av grønnstilk og grapefrukt erstattes gradvis av mer tropisk frukt, mineralitet og krydder/urter. Middels kompleksitet, øker også litt etter hvert. God lengde. Fremstår som ganske typisk Sauvignon Blanc fra New Zealand.

  January 21, 2022 - Enjoyable but not outstanding. Greenish tint. Green pepper and pineapple on nose. Gooseberry, peach and grapefruit on palate, with finishing bitterness.
