October 19, 2014 - This may not be as mind-blowing as it was a few years ago, BUT it's still an impeccably balanced, fresh, crisp perfect NZ white. The usual gooseberry, passionfruit, a touch of tropical fruit, a bit of racy Pouilly Fume acidity. The screw top triumphs once more!

March 30, 2012 - Dill pickle, flint, pink grapefruit & tomato leaf on the nose ~ The palate is light to medium bodied with moderate + acids with flavours of grapefruit rind, freshly cut grass, ripe granny smith, pineapple & a bit chalky on the finish ~ A really nice NZ Sauv Blanc with nice intensity & length

March 23, 2012 - I am raising this to an outstanding rating because it has added complexity. More notes than before!

3 White Wines that Everyone is Talking About, Episode #687, 6/10/2009 (link) 88 points(Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc Icon) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-herbaceous and fresh cut grass is so dominant, that it's almost artificial; PALATE-good weight; a little sugarfied (like a sugar stick in a Mojito); herbaceous; a like the lemon/lime juice flavor on the back-end; but it's a little basic; it's well made; I like it; but it's almost like a cartoon of a New Zealand Sauv Blanc which makes it a little off-balance and a little dessert like; has a delicious factor, but I'm not feeling it; WS-92; GV-88
