A baby still, but already one of those wines where I can't seem to keep enough in my glass. I love the way the acidity knits with the weight of the honeyed, grassy, figgy fruit. And I just want more. — 9 years ago

Typical SB style with citrus and tropical fruit aromas adding some grassy notes. I think a small amount of Semillion blended for body and texture (their limited release has Semillion). On the palate melon and grapefruit flavors with citrus zest, very crisp. The wine was about medium in length ending with earthy notes and minerality tones. Pleasant. — 9 years ago

Yum! I disagree with the reviews below, this wine reminds me of NZ Sauvignon Blanc! Grassy, herbal, honey and apples. Very different and a nice surprise for the money. — 10 years ago

Straw with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits and grassy floral notes. On the palate apple and melon flavors, lime and an underlying sweetness, crisp and refreshing with vivid acidity. The finish is balanced and its medium ending has some grassy mineral characteristics. Nice! — 9 years ago

Green apple translucent yellow in color. Great nose with loads of passion fruit, grapefruit, and apricot. Hints of fresh rubber and grassy stone. Medium plus acidity with medium long bitter melon rind finish gives it great structure and crisp juicy mouth feel. Very ripe fruit forward Sauvignon blanc. — 9 years ago

Has the grassy grapefruit you would expect from a NZ SB but it's complimented greatly with the taste of a sweeter stone fruit like guava. Grade A 10/10 would buy again. — 9 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

Exactly what I wanted this to be- funky, feral, cab franc- bret-y, barnyard, and grassy, with a deep berry core. Was perfect from a 2001 magnum at an outdoor brunch on a warm CA day. Uber-natural winemaking, on the edge of what I can classify as "enjoyable" — 12 years ago
