Surprisingly good. Less "tart" and in your face than a lot of S African or Chilean sauvignon, subtle citrus, aromatics and nice mouth feel. Gooseberries, not just citrus, and reasonable finish. Don't chill too much.

High pitched, slightly screechy cat piss, gooseberry, and greenery nose. Concentrated and well balanced between fullness of flavor and decently lively acidity. Well done but you've got to be in the mood for this profile.

Still very refreshing. Citrus nose is still very nice, fruit a little less edgy.

Fading, but still some grapefruit, lemon, citrus, just not as much crisp acidity as a year ago. I guess CT drinking window on this is true, fading and of the three bottles in the past thirty days, inconsistent quality.

3rd Annual Lobstah Phest. Chilled and served. Austere aromatic profile of citrus, wet stone, hay. Lively crisp acidity, dryish flavors of lemongrass, green apple and mineral. Not much fruit. A nice light wine for pairing with compatable foods.

Delicious and very accesible. The gooseberry note is most remarkable about this wine.

NobleRottersSydney - NZTrip - Hawkes Bay(2) : Sauvignon Blanc/Riesling {375ml, cork, 11%} A mix of botrytised sauvignon and late-pick riesling. A sweetly perfumed nose of honey and quince precedes a mostly simple palate of citric/apricot flavours. It’s moderately sweet, but its fairly light weight stops it becoming too cloying; the acid seems a bit modest to consider this a cellaring proposition. A quaffing dessert wine, if there is such a thing.

Quality New Zealand SB, albeit Martinborough (North Island) instead of the more famous Marlborough; a bit overly acidic, hence off balance. Light unripened citrus note with a bit of bitterness at the end.

A little cat piss and green on nose. Green citrus on palate with good acidity. (D 6.5, F 6; Cent)

Quite grassy and fresh nose. The palate was full of grapefruit and kiwi but there was an intense menthol note that I just couldn't get past.

Lime, grapefruit, and green apple. A little thin. Better the second day it was open. I agree with earlier tasting notes that I expected this to be much better than it turned out to be, especially for the price ($18Costco).

Lemon w/ some fruit background. Seemed uninspired, not memorable.

Nice citrus, herb and grassy flavors make this a textbook example of grape and place. Touch of jalapeno pepper add complexity, but ultimately I expect more from this single vineyard offering.
