Saint Clair Family Estate Sauvignon Blanc Cellar Selection

Citrus, asparagus, grass. Fresh, good acidity, great value.

Very Sancerre-like (happy-making). A "green" component that's more reminiscent of green chile plants than grass. Has a bright acidity, but the acid isn't overwhelming. Good value, definitely worth a repeat purchase.

Delightful bottle & very good value. Nose with lots of lime-lemon-grapefruit; lemon peel/lemon marmalade; classic grassy aromas; a whiff of quince; notes of wet gravel below the fruit, & a hint of tropical fruit (pineapple/mango). On the palate an enjoyable Marlborough New Zealand sauvignon with nice acidity, ample fruit, generous amounts of lime-citrus, some grassiness, & some tart kiwi; the wet gravel element of the nose shows up as a pleasant mineral note on the palate; clean; nice finish, completely …

Rich and delicious with lots of citrus: grapefruit, gooseberry and lime flavors. This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I've ever tasted!

Vicar’s Choice (Marlborough 2007, $15). Nice name. Simple gooseberry and grapefruit on the nose. Interesting palate. Tart grapefruit on the mid palate with asparagus, grass, and horseradish on the finish. Not as much acid as I like but still gives you a kick. Good value at $15 B+.

very nice nose of grass, citrus, grapefruit, gooseberries, tomcat spray, green apples, and hints of pineapples. very tart crisp dry mineral lace tropical fruit on the palate.
