This wine was fantastic! Bursting tropical fruits like Grapefruit, Mandarin Oranges, Nectarines followed by a hint of Dill and Cut Grass. I would drink wine often and all day!

Love this wine- so clean and crisp. Very disappointed that the shop I got it in last year no longer carries it.

This is a well crafted, inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc that is indicative of many of the Marlborough greats that I've had, but considerably cheaper! Drinking it in a New England spring (mud season) it has me longing for summer with its honeysuckle nose and fruit forward taste of late season green apple and tart citrus. This wine absolutely bursts with character.

Delicious crisp lime flavors but without the complexity and body of other similarly priced favorites such as Kim Crawford.
