May 15, 2012 - Had with Baked Cod. Not as good as it was late August. Some herbal and grass on the nose and opened with a decent crisp apple, but quickly gave way to a tart grapefruit pith.

December 21, 2011 - A middle-of-the-road NZ SB, very good but not outstanding. All the right notes, but not as forward as some.

September 8, 2009 - Typical citrus and grass notes. Some herbs, but a surprising amount of something like hot pepper. Kind of strange.

July 6, 2009 - Crisp apple on the tounge but very tart. Decently priced for what it is, but probably would not buy again

New Zealand and Australian Wine Tasting - NYC Week Day 2, Episode #727, 8/26/2009 (link) (85-86) points(Giesen Sauvignon Blanc) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-a very distinct nose; a lot going on; clear grassiness; also a fig component w/ some lemon/lime citrus action; PALATE-tastes exactly like a Sweet Tart candy; very grassy; it's nice, but somewhat simplistic for me and can be replicated for $7-8 bones; a nice porch wine; many like this flavor profile, especially with the little hint of sweetness; GV-85/86
