Really tasty and fresh for the price! I love that the fruit/grapefruit flavors are pretty strong and tangy.

Ok Sauv. Little too sour of an after taste for my liking, but certainly not bad for the price.

Can’t beat this for the price. Nice citrus tastes. Limited grassiness. Very clean and refreshing.

Crisp, but weighty. Almost Viognier-like. Shows lots of apricot with lemon zest in the background. The finish is a bit petroly. A WS Top 100. Definitely a high QPR with Kono. One to seek out.

Fantastic qpr. Grilled pineapple on the nose. A weighty wine with dried apple and back palette notes of tangerine. Great acid on the finish with hints of lemon zest.

Pretty good. Slightly different than some of the other Sauvignon blancs we have tried.
