Classic NZ label. Smells funky. Lawn just cut or a piece of fresh grass in the teeth. And lemon citrus peels. Flavors are complex and very audacious. Bombastic even. Plenty of citrus, but something else as well. Shells? Like the calcium carbonate in those. Also big gooseberries. This is a good example of how NZ Sauv Blanc differs from the other styles out there. This wine packs a punch. — 5 days ago

I describe this as unripe tasting with a nice simple refreshing crispness. — 3 years ago

It smells citrusy and is very fruit forward. I get a lot of lemon, grapefruit and maybe even pineapple hints in the taste. It’s easy to drink. I’d say this is a good go to/classic — a month ago

Oyster shell, so fresh, pineapple core, saline, Kate says coriander. An amazing wine. I would never guess it was 12 years old. Amazing! — 4 years ago

Never had a Marlborough Pinot before. Was having duck, so Pinot an obvious choice. Loved this. Light, which is what I was after, and slight fruity. — a month ago

Pop and pour. A fabulous deep gold color. On the nose: fragrant notes of apricot, nutmeg, floral, honey dew melon. Taste: creamy, elegant, rich wine with pear/apricot, cloves, saline, spice, and a nice honey lemon curd long finish. YUM! Awesome with the oysters shipped from Hog Island Oyster Company. — 5 months ago

A milestone birthday requires some fun wines! 1st bottle to polish off is a 2008 Marcassin chard with Hog Island oysters, butter poached lobster, and shrimp.

Double decant for fine cloudy sediment. An irresistible medium gold color.. On the nose: nectarines, pineapple, vanilla toast, lemon, and crushed rocks. Taste: so gooood after 12 years. A slightly creamy wine with carmalized pear, wet stones, lemon peel, and a mineral peach long finish with good acidity. — 4 years ago
