Community Tasting Notes 10

  February 15, 2024 - Retail $18. Responsible bottle (410g, 14.5oz). Under screw cap. I have stated countless times that I am not a fan of Sauvignon Blanc and I am not all that enamored with the SB from New Zealand. They tend to be overly citric, overly grassy, and overly cat pee-ish. I know there are some that like the style, and even seek it out. Those who do like that style would likely cherish this one, too, for it has all of the above and usually sells for around 12 bucks. Plenty of citrus, fresh-cut grass, and of course that touch of cat pee. The palate is bright and tangy, refreshing, even. Look, I will likely not buy a bottle of this wine, it is not my style, but it is a fine example of the genre.

  October 28, 2023 - Typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc -- heavy on citrus flavors, especially grapefruit, dry, clear pale yellow. A nice crisp wine without much depth. Attractively priced at Costco at $12/bottle.
