Straight and smooth. More like a Loire valley Sauvignon Blanc than a Kiwi Sauvignon. Nice balance between acidity, aromas, alcool, length. Paired well with Canadian salmon and arctic char.

I struggle here as I find myself wanting to like the wine as they're trying to make something that I don't think others are trying in the Okanagan. This wine is lemon-a-plenty with a dose of what my tasting companion calls "hay-puddle". There's certainly a whiff of oak on the nose here which immediately tells us the wine maker is trying something here. The acidity is pronounced as well. I think a great food pairing will be absolutely crucial when showcasing this wine, and I'd tend to a creamy, truffle-oily pasta number in this case. With the right pairing, this wine could be very well-received. Just don't screw up the pairing. This would challenge a chef.

Overall, fairly bland Sauvignon Blanc. Some citrus, grapefruit on the nose, but very subtle. Nice mouth feel, but too subdued for me. More flavour when it wasn't as cold.

Clean and crisp, citrus on the nose and palate. Long finish.

A great sauv blanc. Good full fruit flavour in the mouth, with good acidity throughout. Prominent, well balanced flavours; zesty and citrus-focused.
