Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
This pale, yellow wine smells extremely grassy - no surprise for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. There is also a large swath of grapefruit, cantaloupe and tropical fruits cutting through the nose. The grapefruit comes through explosively on the palate, along with a mineral streak a mile wide. The mouthfeel is quite crisp and the acidity zippy. There is just a tiny hint of sweetness here, and the citrus flavor lasts a long while on the finish. You can pair this with any sort of white meat or seafood, but I think it would be a great choice to go with one’s breakfast eggs, if one were so inclined.

Aromatic. Melon, lychee, grass. Slightly herbaceous. Wet stone. Lots of arugula on palate. Sharp, clean acidity. Longer finish.

A good representation of what I enjoy from Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, clean, tropical. It doesn't have the citrusy, grapefruit notes that I really love, but this is very good.

Limes, honeysuckle, grapefruit, not nearly as stereotypical of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

A good inexpensive bottle of white! Crisp, good when chilled; not too sweet and with a nice mix of citrus notes.
