Balances styles well. Gooseberry, grass, cantaloupe. Refreshing and thirst quenching. Consistently a nice bottle.

Craggy Range is a family owned winery established in 1997. Pale straw with stone and citrus fruit aromas with hints of sweetness. On the palate apple, lime and grapefruit flavors with underlying grassy tones, vivid acidity, crisp and refreshing. Lingering finish ending with a mineral tones.

Light straw with green edged. Aromas of citrus, honey and flowers. On the palate grapefruit and lime zest flavors, wet stone minerality giving the wine a crisp edge. Finishes with good length, lively acidity, a little drying but ends with earthy notes.

Solid. It's not overly "typical" which is positive, but in the end easily forgotten as well.

A lovely burgundy from the Pouilly Fuisse AOC, which is more fruity and fresh in style. This one has pale gold color, aromas of grapefruit, peach, crushed rock and lime stone, with a hint of green grass, medium body with lovely acidity and a pleasant fresh finish. Smooth and lively at the same time. My score 88, drink to 2019

Tropical fruit through and through. Guava and pineapple skin compete for primary flavor. Minerality, and wet grass keeps it honest, and a nice acidity carries everything well. The finish is full of jalapeño and lemon grass.

Not your typical #newzealand #sauvignonblanc - herbaceous nose with hint of peach - peaches and notes lemon zest on palate. Great acidity, balance and finish.

A good sauvignon blanc. Very green grass flavors, lots of bell pepper. As typical for New Zealand Sauv Blancs, tropical fruits, specifically passion fruit noted, albeit, not overly so and not at all over powering. A very nice sauvignon blanc.

Intense nose matching kiwi/pineapple/kiwi Starburst in your mouth. High in acid, but fruitiness balances it.
