Malborough SB aromatics of earth and green herbals. Pale straw in color with nice acid and lemon citrus on palate. As solid as anything under $10

Pale lemon with green highland. Mix of old world and new world styles. A bit earthy without the overpowering herbal quality found in Marlborough wines. This one skirts the border between our world and New. Crisp acidity with grapefruit, elderflower, passion fruit and chalky salinity. Tart acidity on a medium finish.

Medium yellow. Pretty intense nose at the beginning, very smoky and herbaceous, almost some bacon nose, nice citrus peels, grapefruit, fresh cut grass and trace of oak. Medium bodied, razor sharp acidity, grapefruit, herbs on the palate. Pretty round texture, very nicely done in this price range (got it for 12.99). Hard to beat. 13.5% alc. 2016 vintage

Ok, a bit over the hill. Riper, rounder.

Pours daffodil in color. ON THE NOSE: grapefruit, grass, straw and honey. ON THE PALATE: gooseberry, green melon, green bell pepper (not over powering) light bodied with a long crisp finish.

Terrific SB from SA. Ripe and flavorful but clean. Manages that perfect synchronicity that I love in SB.
