So, just arrived in Australia this morning for some wine exploring, and my wife wanted a wine we could sip, so here we are drinking Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. As fine as the “regular” Greywacke SB is, this wine seems another level up, gooseberry aromas and flavors, really complex, actually reminds me of the early Cloudy Bay SBs we drank a fair amount of after visiting the Cloudy Bay winery back in 1994. — a month ago

Hallon och andra röda frukter, bra syra, bra fat, bra balans. Lång lång eftersmak. Riktigt bra pinot. Och riktigt bra vin med adress — 18 hours ago

More full bodied than a usual Pinot. Had with steak and went well. My friend Tom says he gets leather from it. I’d have again. Jakarta — 2 days ago
Tasted the ‘13 vintage not long ago while it was fantastic I felt it just slightly passed its peak. This 15’ is in top form. Nice cherry fruit concentration and freshness on the nose. The palate is a bit richer than the nose suggests with dark plum and abundant earthy elements. Lingering mellow tannins.
Fruits from Wairau Valley. 12 months in French oak barrel, 35% new. — a month ago

This is a $11 bottle and it’s a very nice smooth white wine. Had it with some garlic shrimp and a perfect pair. I’d say B+ as not a lot of excitement but it’s a nice even flavor from start to finish. — a day ago
