Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with floral notes. On the palate, this barrel aged SB shows flavors of grapefruit, green apple and pear fruit with some grassy tones, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending creamy with fruit, herbal, floral, grassy and mineral notes. Much better than ‘17!

Jul 30th, 2021Aromas of tropical and citrus fruits very typical New Zealand SB. On the palate melon and big grapefruit flavors, overly fruity, with bits of lemon citrus zest, vivid acidity, ok balance on medium finish. Ok, but nothing special, a bit pricey at big box store for quality, better ones out there. Tasting Sample.

Less of what makes Marlborough Sauv Blanc my favorite than White Haven, Kim Crawford or Oyster Bay. Garlic and passion fruit bouquet I can't see paying extra for this wine.

Citrus notes, but not as fruity as I would like in a Sauvignon Blanc. 2020 vintage with appetizers. Held it’s own and the price was reasonable for weeknight wine.
