A wonderful Marlborough wine! It has the crispness and tart citrus I've come to expect from the region, but is not overly tart. Community drink dates ended 2016, but this is still good summer 2017.

This is really very good. Handled an overnight with the cap off very well. Nicely complete and balanced with a rather rich mouth feel for a Sauvignon Blanc. Richly pungent grassy New Zealand style nose. Mild golden color. Sharp entry of herbal laced fresh crushed lemon and lime. Positive acid profile. Spicy citrus finish.

This wine is a joy. Nice nose of citrus fruits including perhaps a touch of grapefruit. The taste is citrusy also with some pineapple. Great freshness, not sophistication but very nice, and a great price.

Un sauvignon blanc frais avec des notes d'agrumes et fruits à chaire blanche. Du style un peu exubérant mais bien fait et à prix correct.

As always, our go-to weekday SB under $10. This had a crisp minerality to it tonight...more than I remember from 2014 vintage.
