  Clear, straw grass appearance, low alcohol, mango, honeydew nose, some remote vanilla.
  Pronounced mango, honeydew, thyme on the palate, dry to off dry, high to medium acid, long finish.
  This is a fun Sauvignon Blanc, this is a good accompaniment to food.
  Drink now. My purchase cut off would be $30 in the US.

  Cool lemon zest on the nose, followed by slight mineral and peach.
  Slight peach up front on the palate followed by saline mineral.
  Dry and medium finish. Not my style of a Sauvignon Blanc.
  I would drink now.

  Non-NZ SB. Melon and pear. Nice with shrimp pasta!

  Don’t love this year [2020] as much as past years. This one has flavor of lime curd/sweet tart. I liked the tropical ones of years past better. Still refreshing.

  Not a typical sauv blanc profile. More melon, pear, maybe some mango, some smoke and minerals, but not the bright, citrus-y tropical fruit you expect. That said, it is a very nice wine, robust, well balanced, great mouthfeel. Would have guessed this was a Roussanne if tasted blind.
