V13. Very good and very unique. Think NZ SB, grapefruit zest nose. Gooseberry, lemon grass, lime. Now add toasty vanilla to the nose and finish. Nicely done. — 6 years ago

Extremely layered but delicate nose lets you know you are in for a treat. There's no kick of gooseberry or cat pee, funk or wool. Instead, a great balance between the signature gun smoke, flint and lit match, layered with extra clean lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Palate is rich and round, full of citrus fruit and a stream of acidity. — 9 years ago

Lots of gooseberry, and I feel the citrus is riper and moving towards tangerine with some asparagus chiming in in the background. The acid is a bit restrained but works well with the overall balance — 10 years ago

Clear medium crisp lemon colour. Clean medium plus intensity developing aroma with elegant gooseberry and hint of melon and peach. Dry on the palate medium bodied medium alcohol high acidity with smooth complex flavours of stone fruit and sweet grass. Long refreshing finish. Very good quality, drink now but can possibly age a bit more. — 11 years ago

This is the last of 4 bottles I bought 3 years ago. With age, the grassy, gooseberry Sauvignon character has receded and there is a crystalline minerality taking its place. Almost Chablis- like. Still great acids and freshness. Delicious. — 8 years ago

Always a winner. Crisp citrus with that gooseberry note so typical of Malbourough. Others similar are Nobilo, Starbourough and Oyster Bay.

One of our favorite Loire producers, consistently excellent winemaking. A nice showing tonight, gooseberry, floral spice, sour limestone, great texture, and firm but not devastating acidity. ...thanks Doug Krenik! — 9 years ago

A pale clear straw, the '13 Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc, is another classic NZ-style SB. Big gooseberry and grapefruit aromas followed by tart citrus and pear flavors with some salty mineral notes. Velvety textured mouth with prolonged finish. Paired perfectly with our Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pasta entrée. — 10 years ago

Love, love, love this Sancerre! The nose declares Sauvignon Blanc - herbal notes predominate. The palate is balanced by the addition of gooseberry and lime flavors. An incredible pairing with grilled swordfish with a Mediterranean salt rub of rosemary, lemon and lavender. Blissful. — 12 years ago

Light straw yellow with silvery edges. Almost a toasty feel to the nose and aromas of lime, gooseberry, guava, chives and cilantro. It's medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel. Flavors of lemon-lime soda, lemon grass, melon, guava and celery are on the midpalate. It finishes with lemon-lime soda, guava, and a tingly mouthfeel. — 8 years ago

This wine is so delicious. I can't get over the smell and taste of gooseberry! A very interesting flavor, but leads me to an extra sip. Some additional flavors Are lemon (citrus) maybe tangerine, and maybe some grassy/herby flavor. I will be getting this again. — 9 years ago

Classic. Gooseberry, mineral, lemon drops and minerals the nose. Gorgeous blend of Nahe/NZ. Palate is ripe yet elegant and mineral with Meyer Lemon. Terrific. Gets more lithe and complex as it sits. — 9 years ago

A wonderful Sauvignon Blanc with vibrant acidity laced with herbaceous notes. Grapefruit, gooseberry and lychee flavors suck your palate dry making you crave another sip. — 10 years ago

Mvon Higgins

8.9

Very pale yellow glass with a green tinge. Passion fruit, grapefruit, green apple, and a hint of gooseberry and white peach tinged with lime on a medium nose . On a strong crisp acidic charge to the palate of grapefruit and grass with a lime undertone. Long finish of tart grapefruit and a lasting minerality. Very good value at $11.98 USD and works well with fish or as a sipper. Palate can't live up to the nose due to dominance of the minerality but still a very enjoyable glass. — 10 years ago
