Saint Clair, The Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Sucrée

Last bottle. Initially fig on the nose this time, following by citrus and pineapple. Sorry to see it go, but better to drink before it expires.

Continues to hold up well. As good as the last bottle. Sorry to have but one left. Heard they are no longer making this.

Plenty of minerality and grapefruit in this one. Better than the last bottle.

Still good and crisp, but flavor seems faded in comparison with earlier bottles.

Clear, pale straw. Tart, sharp, high-toned acidity with light citrus notes. Earthy funk at the back adding interest to the finish. Drinks well. Characteristic of Marlborough sauvignons I've had.

Sourced from vineyards in the Rapaura area, lower Wairau and the Brancott Valley of Marlborough. 13% alcohol. Opened before dinner. This has your normal NZSB notes. Fruity with grapefruit, grass and lemony notes. 87 points.

Continues to please. Heard they are no longing making this one. Was a bargain at the 9.99 close out.

Excellent

89 points

Jusqu'à maintenant, notre expérience par rapport au Sauvignon blanc de Nouvelle-Zélande est soit qu'il y a beaucoup, mais vraiment beaucoup de fruit (exotiques, pamplemousse) mais pas grand chose d'autre ou soit qu'il y a beaucoup trop d'acidité à notre goût. Celui-ci nous a vraiment plu par son équilibre. Une belle acidité en entrée laisse place à du bon fruit de la passion ensuite avec une belle longueur.

Delicious! Lots of citrus, and lemongrass. It survived the trip in our luggage.

You have to like the Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, but if you do this is an excellent example. More complex than your oyster bay and the like.

Most definitely lived up to my expectations. Complex and grassy, with citrus and pineapple. Incredible value at the sale price of 9.99

Kim Crawford on steroids. Strong notes of citrus, very refreshing. Good combination for a very accessible price point.
