Pale silvery gold in color. The nose is yellow grapefruit juice; classic. On the palate, the grapefruit continues. This has a nice depth with good acidity. Nice finish. This should be drunk now. Plenty of enjoyment on its own or with lighter foods.

It was nice to revisit this icon which really started the whole New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc industry. The truth is, however, this no longer sets itself apart from the pack except for the pricing. Pale silvery/gold in color. The nose is lemony and tart. Those characteristics carry thru to the palate. Nice acidity. Solid finish. This is a very good wine that will work with lighter foods and seafood.
This turned out to be the group favorite in a tasting of ten New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. Silvery gold in color. The nose has nice grapefruit notes. On the palate, this has a nice oily texture. Good minerality. Lively acidity and a solid finish. It drinks easy on its own and will go with seafood and lighter foods. Priced well, this provides lots of pleasure for a reasonable cost for those who like this style.
A pretty classic version of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. For those looking for this, and there are many fans, this is a well priced alternative to many of the standards that have risen in price over the last decade. Light golden in color. The nose has gooseberries or maybe passions fruit (I need to visit a grocery store and compare the two). Slightly oily texture. Tart gooseberries on the palate. A bit metallic on the finish. This is crisp and easy. Fresh. It should be drunk this summer. Probably more likely to be drunk on its own but will work with fruit salads and other lighte
Light golden in color some green. The nose has classic gooseberries but some peach as well. Dry on the palate. Good acidity. For the most part a pretty classic NZ SB. This retails for $11 which is an excellent value for this wine. Will drink well on its own and work with lighter foods.
Light golden in color. The nose is mostly about melons with slight tropical fruit notes. On the palate, this wine is soft. It is easy to drink and tasty though I expected a bit more energy/acidity. It will work with lighter foods and seafood.
