Really enjoyed this wine. Nice fruit, I am not someone who waxes about stone fruit or minerals but I will say nice balance and exactly what I look for in a Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, cool, a little acid to cut through the food and a good finish. Left me wanting another glass, but alas the bottle is empty.

Color: very pale straw. Nose: grapefruit, canteloupe, green apple. No grass! Taste: Melon dominates, with nice grapefruit acidity, a touch of green apple. I don't get much "grassy" flavors at all, which it fine. Almost frizzante on the tongue. This is good stuff for $10. Drink now. Was really good with scallops in beurre blanc sauce with white truffles.

Has citrus zestiness. The acidity is very enjoyable. Citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Good body and good length for a marlborough sauv blanc. Great value.

Very pale straw color. Nose: grapefruit, fresh grass, lemon/lime peel, wet river stone, and a hint of passionfruit in the background. Palate: pink grapefruit, again the hint of passionfruit, river stone, and a marvelous cut grass/damp hay element on the close. Focused, citrus acidity. Moderate length with a subtle lingering white flower thing going on. Very impressive value.

A little green flavor, some sugar, fleeting fruits. Diminished significantly after a night open in the fridge. Good wine for $8.99.
