Pale & light straw gold in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of citrus notes of white grapefruit, lemons/limes & some stone fruits with overtones of floral & mineral notes & a slight hint of grassiness in the background. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & zesty textured, ripe fruit flavors of citrus of lemons/limes & white grapefruit, some peach notes & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & may hold for another year. Very good QPR when found at discount. IMHO, there's no possible way for this wine to objectively rate a mere "56" unless it was an off bottle! Perhaps someone doesn't quite understand New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs?

Freshly cut grass on the nose with lively grassy flavors in mouth. Lemon, hay and sulpher make up most of the flavors here. It is enjoyable just for being different from the rest tonight.
