Phantom Bay
Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
2014 Phantom Bay Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is from Marlborough but has a different nose. Doesn't have that grassy herbaceous nose, but instead more of a mineral melon nose. A very crisp clean ever so slight citrus on the tongue. This would be good for those that aren't into that gnarly grassy Sauv Blanc!

Jan 4th, 2016Smells a little barnyardish with the herbaceous as a side note. A. Very grassy taste with a slight acidity. Taste better than it smells.

Really good. Reminds me of my favorite Sauv that is no longer available in my area.

May 19th, 2017Gives a wet mouthfeel. Not trash, not a treasure. Prime Walmart pickup, complements Ruffles chips real good. Never again, but I don't regret it.

This was a cheap ($7) Walmart find; something I could use for cooking and drinking. The nose is fairly solid, all the notes you'd expect from a NZ sauv blanc. The palette, while certainly drinkable, was a touch bland and just kind of tasted cheap. Clearly the term "reserve" was used loosely here.

This is a solid cab for a great price. Got this at Wally World for $10. Cheesy description in the label, but could drink all night.
