  Supposedly past its best but quite drinkable still I found. Sweeter than I'm used to in a Sauvignon but a nice change.

  Always a really nice SB. Almost full bodied. Perfectly ripe fruit. Delicious tropicality with savory edges and refreshing acidity. There`s a good amount of citrusy notes hovering also above everything. Long long mineral and honeyd a finish. Awesome summer wine!!

  Tasted Feb 2016. Well chilled. Screw cap.
  The 'Stich' fruit is from Jackson Estate's Homestead vineyard, planted 1989.
  
  2014 in Marlborough reported as good as, if not better than, 2013. I liked this Sav Blanc very much. I tasted the 2013 at the annual London NZ show, and this '14 is better. It is in (my favoured) 'big' rich soft lush tropical style, not a green edgy Marl SB. Mind you, it has plenty of balancing acid to clean up all those melons/white stone fruit/passionfruit, though it doesn't scream ''cellar me.'' It's drinking v well now, why bother? Keep until 2018 only, I'd say. Good length. An all-nighter drinking style, not necc' a Foodie style. Body is medium-heavy. Some wet river stone flavours, some minerals. One of better Marlb' SBs I have had.
  
  Colour is pale, not much at all. Nose is soft white fruits, hint of citrus, not intense at all.
  
  VFM? At around £18.00 it is expensive for a NZ Sav Blanc, but I'd say it's worth every penny. Will buy again.
