V15. Typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc citrus nose. Grapefruit and Meyer lemon fruit. Crisp clean mineral finish. Good value.

Surprising. Not too much grapefruit. Good guava and passion fruit. Pyrazine in check. Super good price for the quality.

Beautiful lemon and grass. Less of that general cat piss smell. A bit more character than the typical overwhelming new Zealand.

Nice Sauvignon Blanc - typical for this region. I’ve been enjoying the complexity of European Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, but this wine is solid.

Well balanced, light grapefruit (does not overpower), perfect wine on a warm evening.

Pretty balanced and not nearly as boisterous as other selections from the region. Mild grapefruit, good amounts of guava and freshly sliced green bell peppers. Fair minerality as well.

Maybe because it's older, this wine didn't have as much brightness/crispness as I normally like in a Marlborough SB. Color more yellow than white. Still enjoyed it and thought it was pretty balanced and easy to drink. Was a little more expensive than my go-to Oyster Bay and I personally didn't like it as much.
