December 22, 2009 - Tasted the night after the Kim Crawford SB and this stands up just fine to it; more French in its style; very little grassy flavors and more lemon and minerality; little tight on the finish, but still a very well made wine; great value and a very good food wine
August 30, 2009 - Very pleasant, classic NZ sauvignon blanc. Great QPR.
August 6, 2009 - Gooseberry and minerality all the way.
July 31, 2009 - Nice grapefruit, grass and guava on the nose. Lemon, grapefruit on the attack and mid-palate and some guava on the finish. Somewhat out of balance - searingly high acidity makes the wine somewhat unpleasant and difficult to drink without food.
May 22, 2009 - Crisp with pineapple on the nose. Almost too much acidity.
May 7, 2009 - Nothing to write home about. Low on the fruit. Go with Babich Sauv Blanc or Allan Scott Pinot Noir.
March 13, 2009 - Very striking flavors of grapefruit and passion fruit to this, although it lacks the intensity of some other Marlborough wines. That's not necessarily a bad thing at the dinner table or with a picnic. But not quite at the level of Kim Crawford, which rules this price point, imo.
March 8, 2009 - Grapefruit was a little subdued for a NZ Sauv Blanc. Lovely acidity; pleasant. Like other NZ Sauv Blancs, a great food wine.
February 6, 2009 - Simone Guys Tasting: Grapefruit on the nose. A little low on acidity, but this was opened a day or two earlier.
January 20, 2009 - Very nice crispness and tartness. Not my all-time favorite, but a great value.
