A little harsh at first, but mellows out after an hour. Good flavor intensity of cut grass, grapefruit and other citrus notes, and just a hint of cat pee (but not in a bad way). Flavors are distinct, complexity is moderate plus, finish is moderate plus. I think I’m just not a big fan of NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

Ripe and assertive, with gobs of fruit throughout. Notes of grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, and gooseberry lead the way, with grapefruit winning out and lingering on the puckery finish. Good purity of fruit here, well made, and a nice patio pounder or pairing with seafood. But there's no scenario where this is a 95 point wine and top 10 of the year (per Wine Spectator).

Flavors showing more terroir than I expected, more grass and field with tangerine and fruit.

Grassy. Star fruit, kiwi, pineapple and lime. A bit fruity sweet.

Excellent NZ SB. Vivid nose with a slightly thin palate but still one of the best I've tried.
