Not familiar with this brand, but very familiar with these crisp and tasty Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs. This one is is on the civilized side with a relatively subdued grassy and herbaceous aroma and flavor. Some very typical, but not overpowering gooseberry, lemon and spice flavors. Really nice, almost exciting palate cleansing mouth feel and zesty citrus finish.

1/2/2019 - Renton Does not like this wine:
PnP for a weeknight meal of Boursin chicken
Unidimensional with only that grapefruit/elderberry flavor showing through.
Nothing special with this wine but easy drinking with a good price.
