Tonight's wine that I have chosen is the 2018 Saint Clair Family Estate Origin Series Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.

On the nose there is grapefruit, tangerine, lime, peach, herbaceous and minerality.

Onnthe palate there is lime, grapefruit, tangerine, grass, herbaceous and minerality.

This wine is medium bodied smooth creamy mouthfeel with medium + acidity and a long crisp clean citrus minerality driven finish. A beautiful wine that you can have by itself or with a wonderfully prepared sea bass. Let's have a great beginning to our weekend and please be safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Crisp, great balance between the minerals and peach flavors. Perfect wine to sip while watching the bird in the oven. This is exactly how a NZ Sauvignon Blanc should be made.

Whaaaa this is exquisite SavvyB from NZ. It is not too anything in any one direction if that makes sense BUT— if it goes anywhere it goes passion fruit and gooseberry. I’d take it on a first date (ordering salad) and a second date (also eating the restaurants bread) and...okay the date metaphor isn’t the best. But gonna say this is obvi NZ SB but not in a bad way❤️

A solid NZ SB. Enjoyable, but not quite as good as, say, Whitehaven

Delicious Sauvignon blanc! Citrus notes and just the right amount of fruitiness. Great wine for appetizers, chicken or seafood. Will buy again!

Very well balanced wine . Great citrus, fruit and a touch of cream on the finish

Smooth! Smells like pears with a hint of citrus.

Wine night.... at Eleven 11.
Smoke on the nose (Erin)...‘pneumonia’ on the nose (Jeffrey).

And apparently you have notes on all these wines, Neal.
