"Expressive and mouthwatering, with firm yuzu, mango and lime flavors that mingle well with herbal accents of lemon verbena, lemon thyme and fresh ginger root. Notes of green tea linger on the finish."

“It shows more richness and offers deeper flavors than most Sauvignons from the region priced under $20, but still shows excellent intensity of aroma and flavor, with lots of linear energy to complement the wine’s breadth and depth. An impressively complete wine, and a terrific value at this price.”

"The tart lime-tarragon aromas are in sync with the crisp Bosc pear and sweet basil seasoning on the palate. Tangelo and mowed grass appear mid-way, with a sleek, mineral finish."

Fresh citrus nose, silky and crisp with passionfruit and Meyer lemon, lively and tangy, a remarkable wine, particularly at this price.

This wine shows soft lime and stone fruit characters that mingle with snow pea, jalapeño and a little wet stone minerality. On the palate it's focused and texturally interesting, with balanced acidity, lime zest and a salty edge.

This is a balanced, food-friendly example of Marlborough Sauvignon succeeding despite a tough vintage. The nose is all about the citrus fruit: lemon-lime and grapefruit, with some soft grass and green herbal notes in the background. The mouthfeel is creamy but buoyed by bright, crisp acidity. Tangy citrus fruit lingers on the long finish.

“Lemony fresh, this brisk white carries notes of tarragon and a hint of crunchy green pepper. Citrusy acidity keeps it bright and cleansing, as if the flavors were lifted by a sea breeze. A perfect pairing for picnics and creamy goat cheese.”
