Love this wine and what Michael Zardo is doing over at Ten Acre/Bella. Exceptional bottle that shows a true Cali PN. Full bouquet of lilac, violets, caramel and musk. Beautiful nose. Sip shows spice, smoke, black fruits, black tea with subtle tones of mole bitters. That same spice returns for a lingering finish flashing its soft round tannins one more time. — 10 years ago

Still young, bit of malo. — 9 years ago
The standard expression is very good, but the barrel aged version is out of this world amazing. I was only able to get my hands on one can so I won't be able to asses how it ages, but even young it is exceptional. — 9 years ago
Floral with great red berries and a bit of earth tones on the finish. A nice find. Worth seeking out — 10 years ago

Another great vintage of this underrated NZ single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. Loads of citrus (primarily grapefruit) and herbaceous notes. Light bodied with Bracing acidity. Crisp and refreshing. Consistent from year to year. — 8 years ago
The wine has a golden color. On the nose there’s a touch of smokiness with aromas of apple, pineapple, butter, caramel and walnut. It’s full bodied with a buttery mouthfeel but still has a sharp, piercing acidity. There’s flavors of pineapple, vanilla, banana and ginger. It finishes with some heat, spicy ginger, and pineapple. — 9 years ago
Ripe, almost jammy red cherry. High extraction, and generous use of new oak. — 9 years ago
I've had this bottle in the cellar for a LONG time (probably past peak)...waiting for the right occasion. Here is to ten eventful years of Builders Bargain. Jammy, delicate flavor. 13 years of aging has given this a very earthy quality. Decanted for 90 minutes but should get even more spectacular through the evening. Cheers! — 9 years ago
