  February 6, 2024 - Medium yellow color. So bright and inviting on the nose with ruby red grapefruit, green melon, limes, and the fruit is mixed with a complex blend of honey, tropical flowers, with nuanced green herbs and wild leeks. The palate sports gorgeous, pleasantly creamy texture, matched by brisk acidity, with pristine balance. Flavors of white peach, lemons and limes, cantaloupe, and honeydew. The fruit is tossed with complex notes of stones and chalk dust, minerals, white pepper, wild green herbs. It has this stony, mountain stream clarity, lots of precision, and a long finish. A NZ Sauv Blanc to win over any skeptics.

  August 20, 2023 - The 2022 Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc is delicate and refined, demanding a smaller bulbed glass, as I typically like larger glasses, but that takes away from the nuanced aromas here. Lemon zesty, kiwi and a spritz of grapefruit combine with hints of sweet spice. It's soft textured, with suggestions of liquid stone or slate giving way to sour melon. This leaves a citrusy concentration while leaving the palate perfectly reset for another sip. Well done, but look elsewhere if you want a big and spicy New Zealand Sauv Blanc.
