Good Sauv Blanc. Interesting what it will be in a year. Buy again.

i'll echo vino verde's comments : this is NOT your typical New Zealand style, tart SB with relatively high acidity. It is rich (pineapple, honey) and flavorful, relatively full bodied. At first it finished a little bitter...but after two hours opened, this disipated and the wine finished well. An outstanding QPR.

Light, golden-yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of fresh citrus fruits of lemons/limes, apples & stone fruits with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle & a hint of lemongrass, stony/earthy & minerals. Light-medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of lemons/limes, apples & stone fruits with lemongrass, stony & minerals. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present but could age for another year.

Light yellow color. Musky, citrus, herbal, and ripe fruit aromas. Melon, citrus, and bitter herbs on the palate. Good complexity. Zesty refreshing long aftertaste. More white Bordeaux-like than Loire or New Zealand. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, and Sauvignon Musque. A blend of stainless steel and oak cooperage.

Light, crisp, and full of citrus. Excellent to drink on its own or with light care.

This pale yellow wine delivers aromas and flavors of fig, grapefruit and freshly-cut grass. Light-bodied, crisply acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol, it stays solid in the middle and closes with a tart, medium-length finish. Striking a nice fruit/herb balance, this is an admirable rendition of the grape which should be best in its youth. Drink now-2016.

A nice wine to enjoy on the deck on a summer afternoon. Had a bottle with cheese and fruit. The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit and lemon. It tastes like grapefruit and lemon. The body is light. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
